Schaltbau begins series production of C330 megawatt charging contactor
Bi-directional contactor for up to 3,000 A megawatt charging applications to be showcased at The Battery Show Europe and Power2Drive
Schaltbau, a global leader in DC technology solutions, today announced that its C330 megawatt charging contactor is now available for order. The bi-directional contactor supports the current as well as the future power class of MCS high-power DC charging. Schaltbau will showcase the C330 at The Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart from June 9–11, 2026, and at Power2Drive in Munich from June 23–25, 2026.
“The transition to heavy-duty electric mobility requires charging infrastructure that delivers both high power and dependable operation,” said Helmut Pusch, CEO of Schaltbau GmbH Group. “The C330 megawatt charging contactor can safely switch the power levels required to recharge commercial vehicles within a typical driver break. With the C330, we enable customers to develop, equip and scale future-ready high-power charging systems that maximize charger availability, reduce costly downtime, and improve fleet utilization and total cost of ownership."
The Eddicy C330 is a single-pole, bi-directional DC contactor and the industry’s first rated for up to 1,500 V and continuous currents of up to 3,000 A. Featuring silver contact pills and an innovative contact system, the C330 achieves an industry-leading contact resistance of just 40 µOhm. This significantly reduces contact heating, power losses and cooling requirements. With separate contact systems for switching and current carrying, the C330 protects the main current path from the negative effects of electrical arcing, delivering outstanding safety, endurance and longevity.
The bi-directional contactor features an open-air-isolation concept with permanent magnetic arc blow-out that prevents rupture even under the most severe failure conditions. It can withstand short-circuit currents of up to 30,000 A for 5 ms without rupturing or damaging surrounding components.
The Eddicy C330 is designed for use in charging stations, energy storage systems and photovoltaic applications. CE, CCC and UL certifications are currently underway and are expected by September 2026.
