standards for a wide range of applications
Siemens has launched a new generation of line monitoring relays. The SIRIUS 3UG5 line monitoring relays combine proven technology with new functions and applications. The relays are the easiest way to monitor standards-compliant grid stability and quality, ensuring proper system operation and a long service life of components such as motors or compressors. Grid monitoring relays are used in critical areas such as hospitals or the process industry, which require a high-quality, fail-safe supply of power. Other areas of application include cranes, elevators, air, and air-conditioning compressors, as well as the timber industry.

- Siemens to donate EUR 500,000 to foundation for mountain rescue services
- Funds to further develop globally unique Bavarian Mountain Rescue Service's center for Safety and Training in Bad Tölz
- Half of donations from Siemens employees
Siemens and
the charitable association Siemens Caring Hands e.V. are supporting the Stiftung
Bergwacht, a non-profit foundation for mountain rescue services, with a
donation of €500,000. The foundation will use the donation to further develop
the Bavarian Mountain Rescue Service’s Center for Safety and Training in Bad
Tölz, Germany, and thus improve disaster prevention in Germany and Europe. Half
the donation is from Siemens employees and half from Siemens AG. The funds are part
of a donation pool that Siemens set up in 2021 in response to the flood
disaster on the Ahr River in the German states of Rhineland-Palatinate, North
Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria. Over the past two years, €2.8 million from the
pool has been used to support 25 emergency, reconstruction and prevention
projects.
