Solid state contactor DCS 1500
The newly engineered solid state contactor DCS 1500 was designed as a non-wearing and maintenance-free alternative to mechanical contactors for railway applications in DC systems. As no maintenance is required, remarkable cost savings will be achieved in high cycling applications.
The solid state contactor DCS can be used in manifold applications such as a load contactor for railway heaters, conditioning devices etc.
In cases where several circuits are required, pre-assembled units may be provided.
Further specifications and information are available on request.
