Quality Guarantee
The foundation of quality for METTZ Group high-voltage circuit breakers begins right in the development of a new product. Switching performance, high voltage stability and performance under normal mechanical loads (wind and short circuits) as well as seismic conditions are simulated and optimized in the outline design phase using computer-aided calculations.
The use of parts and assembly units in a large number of breaker types such as live tank, dead tank, as well as GIS leads to a high volume standardization of the main components. Steady and regular amounts of produced units form a continuous production process and ensure the highest standards.
Statistical quality control is based on large numbers produced, and hence, a higher validity is achieved.
All our circuit breakers are completely type-tested in accordance with latest IEC and ANSI standards before their market launch.
In our factory, we have one of the most modern testing laboratories available.
All required facilities are available:
- Physics laboratory
- High-voltage testing laboratory
- High-power testing laboratory
- Mechanical testing laboratory
- Temperature rise testing laboratory
Other testing laboratories that we work together with are KEMA, IPH and FGH, which are also part of the network of independent testing organizations.
