The C320 is a contactor with a rated operating voltage of DC 1,500 volts and a continuous thermal current of 1,000 amperes. In the event of a fault, a contactor must be able to carry high currents and also switch off. Typical applications include battery-powered vehicles or battery management systems in battery storage units, charging stations and inverters. The contactors must fulfil the required electrotechnical parameters and should be compact and energy-efficient at the same time.

The very compact DC contactor from Schaltbau measures 190 x 166 x 79 millimetres. This makes it around 30 per cent smaller and lighter than previously available air contactors. This brings significant advantages, especially in mobile applications, for example in battery-powered vehicles. The C320 also works bidirectionally - it can switch off loads in both current directions without restrictions. (mfo)
