EVC 250 MAIN CONTACTOR a high-voltage contactor for hybrid- and battery-electric vehicles (HEV, PHEV, BEV)

Abstract

Just like the fuel tank in a conventional car, the energy storage system for hybrid and electric vehicles must also be protected against thermal overload.
Therefore, for galvanic separation after turning off the vehicle or in the event of a failure, fuse and relay combinations are used at the interface between the traction battery and the electrical board net. In this article, the EVC 250 main contactor (EVC 250) is presented. The EVC 250 was particularly developed towards the requirements of this application.
