With a package size of approximately 6×6″ (154×154 mm), the GIGAVAC HX460 power connection busbars allow continuous application circuit currents of 600A and beyond. The SPDT auxiliary contacts are mechanically linked to provide a reliable indication of the main contacts in the closed position. The sealed internal chambers for both the contacts and coil assures clean switching in any environment making the HX460 suitable for operation in hazardous classified locations. Safe make and break power switching can be achieved for high power applications at powers up to 600kW. With bi‐directional switching capability and continuous current carry to 600A, this GIGAVAC sealed contactor is suited for many solar applications including inverters and DC combiner boxes along with a variety of industrial drive systems including rail and traction applications that require a high voltage dielectric rating.
Markus Beck, Vice President, Sales, GIGAVAC, commented: “Our HX460 is the perfect companion to our other sealed switching products. It gives our customers a reliable alternative for their higher power switching requirements versus conventional open air and simply sealed products.”
