Astrol

Astrol is a Switzerland based innovator and manufacturer of state-of-the-art power control and switching solutions. We design and manufacture diverse electronic products such as solid-state circuit breakers (AC and DC), solid-state power switches, gate drive unites, isolated power supplies and customized electronics. Our focus lies on engineering power switching and current interruption solutions in the medium and high voltage range, from optimized gate drive units to fully integrated solutions of up to 100kV.

High-Voltage Power Control and Switching Solutions

Solid-state circuit breakers

Astrol’s advanced solid-state circuit breakers feature cutting-edge, in-house developed technology that delivers ultra-fast and arc-free switch-off capabilities. Designed for marine, smart grid, industrial, and research applications, these compact and modular breakers offer superior performance. With years of expertise in pulsed power, gate drive, triggering electronics, high-voltage equipment design, and control software, Astrol integrates these elements into a reliable, high-voltage solution. Explore how Astrol’s innovation in solid-state switching technology can meet your power control needs.

Solid-state power switches

Astrol’s solid-state power switches are in the high-power range, with voltages of up to 100kV and scalable current rating, often in the range of tens or even hundreds of kiloampere. Besides, they are fully solid state, meaning that they switch high currents without any moving parts. The current is switched on and off by semiconductor elements, which are series connected to achieve the required voltage rating, and in some cases parallel connected to achieve higher current ratings than a single element.

Customized electronics

Astrol offers comprehensive electronics design and manufacturing services from prototype to series production. With a focus on high quality, Astrol supports customers by outsourcing the development, design, and production of customized electronic devices, allowing them to concentrate on their specific applications and challenges. These high standards ensure that Astrol’s products are integral to critical equipment in medical devices, large research laboratories, railways, and demanding industrial processes.
