Range of Hybrid AC/DC Changeover Switches from Telergon

Our range of hybrid AC/DC changeover switches is designed for installations that combine different energy sources and require maximum reliability, robustness and operational flexibility. These devices enable operation in both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), including DC/DC configurations.

What is a hybrid energy system?

A hybrid energy system is an installation that combines different complementary power generation sources to ensure a continuous and efficient supply.

These systems may integrate:

Solar photovoltaic energy
Wind energy
Small-scale hydropower
Generator sets or LPG systems
Energy storage batteries
Power electronics for control and management

The aim is to optimise the use of available energy and ensure supply in both AC and DC depending on the needs of the installation.

What advantages do hybrid AC/DC changeover switches offer?

Hybrid AC/DC changeover switches are designed to provide safe, reliable and flexible switching in installations where different sources and current types coexist.

Their main advantages are:

Compatibility with both AC and DC systems, including DC/DC applications
Safe switching between different power sources (grid, generator, batteries or photovoltaic systems)
High reliability in demanding industrial and energy environments
Optimised continuity of electrical supply in hybrid systems
Reduced risk during transfer operations between energy sources
Robust design for power applications in critical installations
