On July 13, 1926, Dr. Jansen changed the world of power engineering – and with it, history – with his patent. The high-speed resistive circuit breaker enables the interconnection of power grids around the world – and remains the technical principle behind grid stabilization. It will also continue to make a significant contribution to the all-electric society over the next 100 years.
History, Present, and Future: In three videos, you’ll dive into this defining moment in the history of technology, take a tour through the latest generation of tap changers, and experience a journey through time to the future of power engineering.
We hope you enjoy it, and – importantly – please turn the sound on.
Join Dr. Jansen on a journey through the history of energy, from the first gearwheel to the development of today’s energy grid. From the Roaring Twenties to the era of transformer stations and the provision of electricity to more than 90 percent of the world’s population.
Discover how collaboration and partnerships between transformer manufacturers, grid operators, and Reinhausen are creating stable power grids all over the world. And see how innovative solutions are developed – and just how fascinating they are from the inside.
Continue your journey through space and time and take a look into the future of energy technology. Self-learning and self-regulating networks, DC grids, and – above all – innovative ways of linking requirements, challenges, and solutions through visionary collaboration are shaping the future.
