In recent years, the proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid vehicles (HEVs), industrial energy storage systems (ESS), and solar power generation has led to an explosive increase in opportunities to handle direct current (DC) power at high voltage and large current. The important component responsible for the safe and reliable opening and closing control of these DC circuits is the DC contactor, also known as a direct current electromagnetic contactor. DC contactors are essential as "safety switches" that not only control the ON/OFF operation of the system but also instantly disconnect the high-voltage main circuit in the event of overload or abnormal occurrences, ensuring the protection of equipment and the safety of human life. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the attached PDF. For more information, feel free to contact us.

The lifespan of DC contactors varies greatly depending on the usage environment and load conditions. Generally, there are "mechanical lifespan" and "electrical lifespan," where the former is determined by the wear of structural components, and the latter is determined by contact wear due to arc discharge. However, the electrical lifespan cannot be expressed as a uniform value. The lifespan can change several times to several tens of times due to slight differences in conditions such as the type of load, frequency of operation, temperature and humidity, and the presence or absence of surge protection. At Olbright, we emphasize this realistic variability and do not list a "standard value for electrical lifespan" in our data sheets. We recommend selection and consultation based on actual usage conditions. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the attached PDF. For more information, feel free to contact us.
