BAUR GmbH

Strategic partnership between BAUR and onsite high voltage international

Use of Synergies in the Extra High Voltage Range

On September 26th, a cooperation agreement was signed between BAUR Prüf- und Messtechnik GmbH and onsite high voltage international ag. With this, BAUR has obtained the worldwide distribution rights for the testing systems with Damped AC technology (DAC). The DAC products pose compact solutions for the on-site testing and condition evaluation of cable routes in the high- and extra high-voltage range (especially 110 kV - 400 kV). The company behind onsite high voltage international ag is the Swiss company, Seitz Instruments AG. Just as BAUR with its unique truesinus® VLF technology, Seitz Instruments AG is a pioneer and technological leader with its DAC products. Seitz Instruments AG’s products are developed and manufactured in Switzerland. To date, these products have been sold and marketed under the trade name OWTS.

An increasing use of HV cable routes (>110 kV), e.g. in large cities, as well as the requirements of cable routes posed by renewable energies (e.g. offshore), increases the complexity and intricacy in the power grid. With its compactness and simplicity, DAC has many a time proven to be the only viable testing and diagnose method.  

BAUR recognised this trend and through the planned long-term partnership with onsite high voltage international ag, BAUR is now able to offer a complete and
top-quality product range, enabling it to meet the growing demands and requirements of the energy supply sector. onsite high voltage international ag will benefit from the strong global sales and distribution network as well as BAUR’s outstanding reputation in the market.
