Dependable EV Disconnection Supported by DC Contactor in Electric Vehicles, Charging Stations, and Energy Storage Devices

The TDK HVC50 high-voltage DC contactor is a cutting-edge solution designed for Electric Vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems (ESS), and megawatt charging systems (MCS). Developed by TDK, this contactor offers a range of features that make it ideal for handling the demands of high-voltage DC loads in these applications.

One of the key advantages of the HVC50 is its ability to handle high current and voltage. It supports continuous currents of up to 750 A and can handle 1,000-A surges. Moreover, it can disconnect DC voltages of up to 1,500 V in less than 30 ms, ensuring safety and reliability even under extreme conditions.

The HVC50 also boasts an advanced gas-ceramic arc chamber, which facilitates rapid and safe current disconnection. This technology is particularly useful in traction applications of EVs, where the contactor is subjected to harsh operating conditions.

Another notable feature of the HVC50 is its integrated mirror contact, which complies with IEC 60947-4-1 standards. This feature provides precise switching feedback, enhancing operational safety and reliability.

The HVC50 contactor also supports bidirectional current flow, enabling applications such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and power banking functionalities. This makes it a versatile solution for various applications in the EV and energy storage sectors.

Energy efficiency is another area where the HVC50 excels. It operates with dual coils at 12 V or 24 V, with an initial making power of 50 W. However, after about 200 ms, one of the coils can be switched off, reducing the steady-state power to just 6 W. This energy-saving feature makes the HVC50 an attractive option for those seeking to reduce their energy consumption.

With a weight of 1.7 kg and dimensions of 97.8 × 140 × 94.2 mm, the HVC50 is compact and easy to integrate into various systems. This, combined with its other features, makes it a reliable, safe, and energy-efficient solution for managing high-voltage DC loads in demanding applications like EVs, energy storage, and large-scale charging systems.
