Raytheon Anschütz GmbH is a subsidiary of the Raytheon Company (USA). The company was founded in 1905 as Anschütz & Co. after Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe invented the gyrocompass. Today, Raytheon Anschütz develops, produces and tests gyrocompasses, daughter displays, autopilots, manual rudder control systems, radar equipment and electronic nautical charts, as well as complete integrated bridge systems at its site in Kiel. Heitec was awarded the contract for the expansion of the plant's power supply to the medium-voltage feed.Realisation
Heitec engineered the complete medium-voltage system, the protection concept, the selective distribution and created a pressure relief concept for the system in the event of a fault.
The integration of the new feed-in took place at weekends and during production times for the relevant trades.
Heitec also engineered the low-voltage system for the onward distribution of the energy and manufactured it in accordance with EN 60234-2.
