Founded in 1956, Doepke Schaltgeräte specialises in RCCBs, residual current control technology and special solutions. Today, its product range comprises residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs), miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), circuit breakers providing residual current protection (CBRs), modular residual current protective devices, residual current monitors, load disconnectors, installation relays, impulse relays, as well as twilight, float and manometric switches. Products on display will include type F RCCBs, which recognise mixed frequencies when using equipment with installed singlephase frequency converters (for example, washing machines or rotary hammers). The product also complies with all requirements for conventional type A RCCBs. Meanwhile, the company’s 2- and 4-pole RCCB with overcurrent protection (RCBO) for the protection of smaller installations up to 32A are now also available in AC-DC sensitive versions. The DMRCD modular RCCBs and the DRCM residual current monitors ensure that the legal requirements regarding fire protection and protection of persons are being met by monitoring residual operations currents (30 to 3,000 mA).
Sheikh Saeed Hall 1, Stand A30 Walther-Werke, Ferdinand Walther GmbH, is a manufacturer of industrial plugs and sockets, including CEEtyp (IEC standard), ‘Procon’ heavy-duty connectors, combination units with sockets and breakers and charging infrastructure for electrical vehicles. The company will showcase its newest product range, the CEE 63A, along with customised solutions for industrial customers. Walther-Werke is the only company to offer customers in the Middle East portable rubber combination units, which are of German quality, but manufactured locally in Dubai. Thomas Kalthoff, management assistant at the company, said, “Due to our local assembly in Dubai we can serve our high quality products in a very short time to the market. That gives us a strong position in industrial projects. “Our best-selling products are combination units with CEE sockets and breakers, wall-mounted or portable, made of high-quality thermoplastic material or solid rubber. That makes the products very long-lasting and stable, which is very important regarding the Middle East climate conditions,” Kalthoff added.
