The GV Series
This article has been supplied.
GIGAVAC’s GV Series contactors are among the most economical high performance sealed Power Contactors on the market today. A sealed solution is what most customers ask for when specifying a contactor that handle switching sizeable DC loads. With voltage ratings from 12Vdc to 1200Vdc GIGAVAC GV Series contactors are rated to switch loads in excess of 400 amps and interrupt short circuit currents to 3500 amps (voltage dependent). Like all GIGAVAC Advanced Switching Solutions these contactors can be mounted in any axis or orientation and are sealed to withstand virtually any harsh environment. All GIGAVAC GV Series power contactors meet RoHS and CE Conformance requirements.
The GIGAVAC line of EPIC® sealed contactors includes GX Industrial Contactors and MX Mil-Grade / Heavy Duty Contactors.
For relays rated from 1.5KV up to 70KV, visit the GIGAVAC line of HV relays.
Application Notes:
- Contactors feature internal transorb for coil suppression. No external diodes should be added across the coil.
- Breaking current in the reverse direction will reduce cycle life ratings, please consult factory for specific application assistance. Switches should be installed so that current flows from A1(+) to A2(-).
- Notes for pre-charge circuits and electrical systems with capacitors.
Gigavac also have a latching version GVL.
