About Eldatex Power Systems
Eldatex Power Systems GmbH, founded in 1999, is a manufacturer of control cabinets and switchgear based in Nettetal. The company designs and manufactures low- and medium-voltage switchgear up to 24 kV, power distribution boards according to IEC 61439-1/2 in the Rittal Ri4Power system, emergency power controls and standby power systems, as well as turbine control cabinets and steam turbine governors for power generation and distribution. In addition to manufacturing, Eldatex provides switchgear maintenance, protection relay testing, retrofit and commissioning, PLC programming with Siemens Step7 and TIA Portal, circuit diagram creation with EPLAN Electric P8 and 3D CAD modelling. Control cabinets, enclosures and mounting plates are machined automatically based on 3D CAD data using the Rittal Perforex machining centre; custom wires and cable assemblies are produced on a fully automated wire processing line. Long-standing customers include M+M Turbinen-Technik, Howden Turbo and Siemens. Eldatex has been certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 since 2005 and operates worldwide, with strengths in custom-built solutions tailored to customer requirements.
