- Flexible addition of features via software protects investments
- New protection technologies prevent failures with distributed power supply
- Seamless integration in digital environments
With the new 3WA series, Siemens Smart Infrastructure is updating its Sentron portfolio of air circuit breakers. As a core element of low-voltage switchboards, they reliably protect electrical installations in buildings, infrastructures and industrial facilities from damage caused by short circuits, ground faults or overload faults. At the same time, the new 3WA circuit breakers meet all low-voltage power distribution requirements in digital environments. They support software-based planning and engineering, digital testing and monitoring, and seamless integration in automation and IoT systems. For the first time, upgrades can be completed 100 percent digitally. Users simply download new features from the Internet and add them using an app.

- Stock-exchange listing completes spin-off
of Siemens Energy AG
- Transaction shall create long-term
value for shareholders of both companies
- New Siemens AG to have clear focus on
shaping digital transformation of industry
Siemens has completed its structural realignment and thus successfully
executed a key part of its Vision 2020+ strategy concept. This morning’s
listing in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange completed
the quotation of Siemens Energy as a leader in the transmission and generation
of electrical power. This step begins a new chapter in the company’s history.
The independent Siemens companies Siemens AG, Siemens Healthineers AG and Siemens
Energy AG will work together within an ecosystem of common interests. In each
case, however, they will focus on the priorities and characteristics of their specific
businesses and industries. With some 240,000 employees, Siemens AG will
primarily concentrate on technologies that are driving advances in the digital
transformation of industry, in smart infrastructure and in sustainable transportation.
- Hydrogen production solely from renewable energy
- Exclusive hydrogen source for northern Bavaria and the border region in Czech Republic
- Cross-sector use of renewable energy as a model for the future
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and WUN H2 GmbH
signed a contract to build one of the largest hydrogen production plants in
Germany. It will be built in Wunsiedel in the north of Bavaria. With a power
intake of six megawatts in the initial development phase, the plant will run
solely on renewable energy and will be CO2-free. The electrolysis
plant from Siemens Energy will have the capacity to produce over 900 tons of
hydrogen per year in this first phase. When fully expanded, it will be able to
supply up to 2,000 tons. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the end of this year
and commissioning at the end of 2021.
- Siemens Energy Corporate Center in Berlin
- Joint location and structural concept planned with the State of Berlin
- Company's administrative
headquarters remain in Bavaria
Siemens Energy, as a stand-alone company,
will locate its Corporate Center in Berlin. The energy technology company with
worldwide 91,000 employees, which in 2019 generated revenue of €28.8 billion,
is thus returning to its roots: Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske
founded their company in Berlin in 1847 and with the discovery of the
electrodynamic principle in 1866 laid a foundation for today's Siemens Group
and therefore today's Siemens Energy.
