Recommended series: Ruizhi, Haorui, Yuanjing
Siemens Electric entered China very early, in the early 20s began to build power plants in China, in 1984, Siemens established the first high-voltage DC transmission line for China, it can be seen that its professional strength at that time has been very good, so far Siemens switch socket is also the preferred product of Chinese real estate enterprises, Canton Tower, Beijing Jianwai SOHO are using Siemens switches.
Siemens is involved in power generation systems, transmission systems and terminal products, focusing on the development of energy systems related to power generation. However, the recent market performance of power generation groups has been weak, due to the continued downturn in the market in 2017, coupled with the largest order in history of 4.7 billion euros in 2016, the order volume in 2017 fell sharply by 32.6%, and the power generation group is not optimistic about the future market forecast.
Nowadays, electrical terminal products are no longer the main business of Siemens, and the revenue data of electrical products is no longer listed separately in the financial report. As a non-main business, Siemens adopts a combination of self-production and OEM production methods, and some entry-level products are manufactured by Liansu, but Lesso is also a very strong manufacturing group, with more than a dozen production bases across the country, postdoctoral research workstations, and CNAS laboratories, which can ensure the reliability of products.
Siemens products are divided into Ruizhi, Haorui, Envision, Pinyi and other series according to the price from high to low, Ruizhi series is the first product in the switch industry to adopt a frameless design, with a strong sense of integration, and is the winner of the 2013 IF Design Award. However, due to the early launch time of Ruizhi, the rear seat still adopts a split design, and the structural strength is slightly inferior to that of the newly listed Schneider Yishang and Legrand Yiyuan. The price of Ruizhi Yikai single control switch is 38.2 yuan, which is medium in the high-end series and has a certain competitiveness.
The new Haorui series has white, gold and silver three colors to choose from, among which the jade glaze white appearance is outstanding, the use of hand-polished molds, the appearance is warm and soft, and it has a strong recognition in the same price products. The installation hole adopts an anti-slip design to increase friction and avoid slippery wire during installation, and the quality is more reliable, and the price starts at 16 yuan.
Because the two series of Envision and Pinyi are entry-level products, the workmanship of the current-carrying parts is slightly rough, but the performance is acceptable in the same price range. Among the two, the Vision series is more recommended, the flame retardancy of its shell is superior in the same price products, the price is 12.9 yuan, the overall cost performance is higher, compared with the Pinyi series The structural strength is slightly weaker, the price is 12.2 yuan.
