Ac, bidirectional dc power contactor has small footprint

XTRONICS Schaltbau Group C310 Ac, bidirectional dc high power contactor with a small footprint, can continuously conduct up to 500 Amps. In the event of a short circuit unit can handle 3000 amps for one second without the contacts fusing. Device maintains its full function in order to disconnect high power ranges if necessary – irrespective of the current direction. This bidirectional capability is important for systems with a charging and discharging process, such as in battery networks or electric vehicles. Other typical application areas are dc circuits in inverters, combiner boxes in photovoltaic systems or the management of battery storage systems.
