OBO solutions for theelectrical infrastructureof wind power systems

A whole branch of industry can profit from the driving force of a very oldform of energy. Wind power systems have long been established as a tech-nology for the future regarding the use of renewable energies. Modern,high-performance wind power systems make extremely high demands ofthe quality and reliability of the components used. Particularly important isthe electrical infrastructure, which is of key significance for the functionalsafety of the entire system.

Think connected.OBO stands for networked think-ing all over the world our sys-tems provide a reliable backbonefor building and system technologyfor industry, commerce and infra-structure systems.
