Our Know-How

Protecting people, equipment and electrical systems with proven technology.

Detection & Protection

Before a system can act, it has to know what is happening — and it has to be protected when something goes wrong. We engineer the sensors, switches and protection devices that critical infrastructure depends on to detect, isolate and stay safe.

Delivering dependable performance under the toughest conditions.

What a Protection Solution Must Do

Detection means knowing the state of a system at all times — a door open or closed, a current within limits, a position reached. Protection means acting on that knowledge before a fault becomes a failure — isolating a circuit, breaking a current, securing a connection to earth.  Both disciplines come together in the same environments: electrical substations, railway power systems, aircraft and helicopters, and industrial installations where a missed signal or an unprotected circuit is not an option.

From system analysis to validated, production-ready products.

How We Develop Protection Solutions

Position & Proximity Detection
Contactless sensors for monitoring doors, hatches and mechanical states, qualified for helicopter and rail applications

Current & Voltage Sensing
Sensors for monitoring electrical parameters in substations and power systems

Auxiliary & Isolator Switches
Configurable switching for electrical substations, with up to 50 contacts and locking by key or padlock

Circuit Breakers & Protection
Magneto-thermic and magnetic protection devices for harsh and demanding environments

Short-Circuiting & Earthing
Equipment for circuit separation, short-circuit and earth connection, designed to electrical substation standards

Combining technical know-how with decades of application experience.

Engineering Expertise

Long Service Life
Devices engineered for decades of reliable operation in substations and rail systems (MTBF values available on request)

Extreme Environments
Qualified for wide temperature ranges and demanding mechanical conditions

International Standards
Designed and qualified according to international electrical substation and equipment standards

Aerospace-Grade Qualification
Selected switching components approved for use on helicopters and aircraft

Transforming complex requirements into custom protection systems.

From Idea to a Protection Solution That Doesn’t Yet Exist

A short-circuiting device, a proximity sensor for a helicopter hatch, a switch qualified for nuclear standards — none of these are catalogue parts adapted after the fact. Each was engineered to a specific operating requirement, and each continues to evolve as platforms, standards and environments change.

Supporting mission-critical applications across global industries.

Applications Across Industries

Detection and protection solutions from the MAFELEC TEAM are in service in railway power systems and door monitoring, in electrical substations and industrial installations, and in selected aerospace and helicopter applications.

Your protection challenge begins with a requirement, not a product number.
