Always ready, everywhere
There are practically no limitations on the use of the Twister®
S1, because it works for all emergency loads in the buildings
to which DIN VDE 0100-718 applies: That means for all buildings from which people must be safely evacuated if the general
power supply fails. Safety loads – namely people. They require
the highest level of safety so that the possibility of panic and
unnecessary hazards can be prevented.
Although the primary focus of all safety precautions is of course
on safeguarding human life, a secondary consideration and
another important factor is the safeguarding of assets such as
property. After all, the outbreak of a fire can also put at risk
neighbouring buildings and finally - once again - human life.

The Twister ® S1 is not only extremely efficient, it is also highly
intelligent: Thanks to optimised consumer connection, it can
even handle power ratings of over 150 kVA and up to 300
kVA. To achieve this, the Twister® S1 automatically cascades
the connection of the consumer groups on the basis of an
individual load management for each individual building.
Twister® S1 convinces decision-makers by virtue of its capacity and users by its professionalism and reliability.
