With the new contactors Series C310 Schaltbau offers a reliable alternative to gas-filled devices, which have been commonly used up to now. Thanks to the new technology the C310 contactors work without insulation gas. The arc chambers work on a permanent-magnetic basis, ensuring compact dimensions and low weight.
Since both current directions are reliably controlled, the contactors are ideal for all applications with energy recovery such as: energy storage systems, where batteries are charged and then discharged again, battery-powered vehicles, DC charging stations and photovoltaic installations.
The devices are always equally reliable regardless of the ambient temperature. In addition, the monostable type has low energy consumptionin the switched-on state.
The first types in the new series are designed for permanent currents of 150 A, 300 A and 500 A.

Bidirectional DC NO contactors for 150 A, 300 A or 500 A
The C310 is a single pole bidirectional DC NO contactor. It was designed to ensure safe switching of high loads and to protect reliably in case of a system malfunction. The new bidirectional contactors are suitable for typical applications such as the DC end of inverters, combiner boxes of photovoltaic installations, battery storage systems and electric vehicles.
The key features and benefits of the C310 series are the compact design, double-break contacts, very efficient newly developed arc chamber as well as the high breaking capacity.
