Emka supplies hardware for Power Electronics cabinets

Energy storage systems supplier and solar inverter manufacturer Power Electronics has standardised on hardware from Emka for locking systems on its cabinets, citing certification to UL standards as an important factor in its decision.

Founded 35 years ago, Power Electronics is currently part of over 1,600 renewable energy projects worldwide. It has already prevented over 60.5 million tons of CO2 emissions into the environment with the goal of creating a clean and sustainable world for future generations.

Power Electronics manufactures thousands of electronic inverters and chargers each year so the company’s managers were looking for a hardware supplier that could offer a complete package of services to meet its needs. With these systems needing to include development, design, production and sales, it turned to Emka.

Besides the expertise and excellent price-performance ratio, the high quality of the locking systems – certification according to the UL standard – was an important factor. Furthermore, the global networking of Emka stood out with its many offices around the world. “The mix of local partner and globally networked company was very attractive to us,” explains one of the central purchasing team at Power Electronics. “Emka can quickly support us not only locally but also with our customers worldwide.”

Emka supplies a large part of the locking systems used at the battery storage manufacturer. These systems are used in inverter stations, e-chargers and industrial enclosures. The annual order scope includes a complete locking system: swinghandles from the award-winning 1325 series, rod controls for multiple interlocking, hinges, and quarter turn locks, as well as gasket seals developed specifically for Power Electronics.

“Using our in-house production of seals, we are able to implement even short-term orders from Power Electronics quickly and with the highest quality,” explains an Emka team member. In addition to three gasket types from the existing range, Power Electronics is also supplied with a number of special gaskets developed in-house.
