Product details description
C360 – AC and bi-directional DC contactors up to 1,500 volts for railway applications
Compact single-pole NO contactors for AC and DC (bidirectional) up to 1,500 volts rated insulation voltage. Making current up to 2,500 amps;
conventional thermal current up to 500 amps; short-time current up to 3,000 amps
The bi-directional DC contactors of the C360 series switch high powers in a small space. With a making capacity of up to 2,500 amps,
the compact switchgear is suitable for applications with high inrush current or high capacities.
All versions can continuously conduct up to 500 amps. In the event of a short circuit, 3,000 amps, can even flow for one second without
the contacts welding. The contactor therefore maintains its full function in order to disconnect high power ranges if necessary up to
500 amps and up to 1,500 volts – irrespective of the current direction. The full bidirectionality is important for many applications
in railway vehicles. Many design variants are also available, matched to a wide range of applications, e.g. as the main contactor in
traction and auxiliary converters of battery and hybrid vehicles or as an isolating contactor in battery circuits with high currents.
