Schaltbau to showcase DC technology at The Battery Show Europe and ees Europe
Eddicy C303 and C800 contactors presented as key components in the transition to renewables in energy storage, charging stations, electric vehicles, vehicle-to-grid and more
Schaltbau, a global leader in direct current (DC) technology, will showcase innovative Eddicy solutions for energy storage and battery technologies at “The Battery Show Europe,” which will take place in Stuttgart from June 18-20, 2024; and the “ees Europe,” from June 19-21, 2024 in Munich.
Whether it’s energy storage systems, charging infrastructures, or electromobility, DC technology is more critical now than ever before. A key component in the transition to renewable energy, DC power must be leveraged for efficient and reliable use—and Schaltbau’s line of Eddicy bidirectional contactors make that a possibility.
Highlights will include the C303 contactor, engineered for bidirectional DC applications and offering unmatched performance suitable for a range of uses in energy storage, charging stations, electric vehicles, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G). With a very low contact resistance of slightly over 100 µΩ, the C303 offers best-in-class performance with low contact warming and low power loss due to optimized contact pills. The coil drive with fast switch on and AgSnO2 contact tips result in superior performance in short time currents (5kA capacity for 20 milliseconds without contact welding) and high making capacity (currents up to 2kA without contact welding). The smallest Schaltbau contactor for 350A Thermal current, the C303 offers complete plug-and-play capability.
The company will also showcase the new C800 bidirectional contactors for e-mobility applications. With a making capacity of up to 4,500 amperes and continuous current carrying capacity of up to 500 amperes, they are ideal for use in the Battery Disconnect Unit (BDU) of electric vehicles. They can even handle short-circuit currents of up to 6,000 amperes for 20 milliseconds without the contacts welding, maintaining full functionality to switch large currents, such as up to 1,200 amperes at 450 volts, regardless of the current direction.
Attendees are invited to meet Schaltbau at each event to explore how these bidirectional contactors can enhance energy sustainability and resilience:
