TCO Calculator - Unlock the full value of energy efficiency

Calculate your real savings with our TCO Calculator

Price is what you pay. Value is what you save—year after year.

In today’s energy-conscious, cost-sensitive environment, selecting the right components goes far beyond the initial purchase price. That’s why we’ve developed the Schaltbau TCO Calculator, a powerful tool to help you uncover the hidden costs – and savings – when selecting your contactors.

Why total cost of ownership (TCO) matters

Rising energy prices, stricter ESG goals, and increasing system complexity have made Total Cost of Ownership an essential metric in engineering and procurement. TCO considers not just what you spend today, but what your decisions will cost (or save) you over the entire lifecycle of your system.

Whether you’re designing for energy storage, e-mobility, test benches, or charging infrastructure, small inefficiencies in electromechanical components can add up in wasted energy and oversized cooling systems.

What the TCO calculator tells you

Our TCO calculator compares Eddicy contactors with competitor products across key parameters. The result? A clear, application-specific breakdown of:

Cooling system savings – Eddicy contactors produce less heat, so you spend less on cooling hardware.
Operational energy savings – Lower power loss means lower electricity costs over time.
Total system cost impact over product lifetime – Including number of contactors, runtime hours, and energy prices.

You can customize the calculator inputs to reflect your real-world setup: from the number of contactors used, to runtime hours, to local electricity prices.

Real savings. Real examples.

📉 In a 15-year operation of an EV charging station using 6 contactors, switching to Eddicy contactors could reduce power loss costs by over €1,700 compared to alternative products.

🔋 In large energy storage systems with 20 contactors, that difference grows to €12,000+ in lifecycle savings—not counting the reduced cooling demand.

These are not theoretical estimates—they’re grounded in real technical parameters and customer cases.
