Why is a contactor important in an AC charging station?

The contactor is one of the key components in an AC charging station and is critical for safety and function. It must carry the operating current and switch reliably, even under the influence of environmental conditions. This includes outdoor use and sunlight, which can raise the temperature inside the charging station.

What is a Schaltbau contactor?

Schaltbau contactors for the fast charging of cars, buses, and commercial vehicles with direct current ensure the necessary safety for people, charging infrastructure, and vehicles in the charging points. Featuring the lowest available contact resistance, they avoid power loss and allow the efficient transfer of electrical power.

What is an ABB installation contactor?

ABB installation contactors are ideal for use in AC charging stations and a comprehensive solution from 16 A to 100 A.

How can a 2-pole Charger switch between 1-phase and 3-phase charging?

With an additional 2-pole contactor, the charging stations can switch between 1-phase and 3-phase charging by switching one contactor on and off (e.g., 1 contactor N + L1 and the second contactor for L2 + L3). It is thus also possible to expand and upgrade existing 1-phase chargers with an additional contactor.

Can a contactor open under load?

In certain cases, the contactor may open under load if the charging process is suddenly interrupted, for example: Interruption of charging by the grid operator in the case of grid-served charging stations. The contactor must be resistant to this to prevent possible welding of the contacts when opening under load.
