C100 – Battery contactor with magnetic blowout

The Schaltbau C100 series stands for configurable single-pole NO contactors for unidirectional switching of battery voltages up to 80 volts (150 volts rated insulation voltage), with four sizes for continuous thermal currents up to 250 amperes.

C100/80

Battery contactor for a conventional thermal current of up to 60 A

C100/120

Battery contactor for a conventional thermal current of up to 100 A

C100/200

Battery contactor for a conventional thermal current of up to 150 A

C100/320

Battery contactor for a conventional thermal current of up to 250 A

The DC contactor C100 is designed with a magnetic blowout mechanism. It you can switch battery voltages of up to 80 volts unidirectionally. The single-pole NO contactor is available in four sizes: for conventional thermal currents of up to 60, 100, 150 and 250 A.
The cost-effective C100 works as a main or auxiliary contactor in industrial trucks and other electric vehicles. It complies with the standard for battery power-operated industrial trucks (EN1175-1).

Features

DC contactor in 4 standard sizes

The C100 is available in four sizes, for carrying 60, 100, 150 and 250 A. The connecting dimensions correspond with the usual market standard.

Permanent-magnetic blowout for high DC power ranges

During switch off, an electric arc is ignited between the opening contacts. The current flows on through the ionised air. Permanent magnets drive the ionised air out of the contact zone into the arcing chamber. Here, the electric arc is extended and cooled until it goes out.

Optimised for the requirements of industrial trucks

The C100 DC contactor has been tested according to EN1175-1: the standard for battery power-operated industrial trucks. In industrial trucks it can work both as a main contactor and also switch subsystems, such as pumps. Secure shutdown is only possible unidirectionally.

Further applications in DC networks up to 80 volts

The C100 is suitable for numerous stationary and mobile DC applications up to 80 volts where bidirectional switching is not required:

  • Battery chargers (battery booster)
  • Battery switchgear
  • Corridor cleaning machines
  • Mobile electric lifting platforms
  • Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for in-house logistics
  • Motor starters

The contactor complies with the standards EN1175-1, EN 60947-1 and EN 60947-4-1.
