Description
Albright HV500 – High Voltage Electromechanical DC Contactor
The Albright HV500 is a hermetically sealed electromechanical DC contactor in the HV500 family, designed to switch DC power using physical main contacts. It is not a solid-state relay. The coil voltage depends on the exact ordered configuration.
Key features
- Electromechanical switching with normally open (NO) main contacts
- Hermetically sealed high-voltage DC contactor design
- HV500 family specifications include high-voltage operation up to 1000V DC, subject to application-dependent ratings
- High-current switching for properly engineered DC circuits; verify continuous, making and breaking ratings for the specific operating conditions
Configuration and applications
This is a general HV500-series listing. Confirm the exact order code and coil voltage before selection.
Typical application areas include electric vehicles, battery packs, DC charging, renewable energy, energy storage and industrial DC distribution, where the part's voltage and current capabilities meet system requirements.
Engineering note: HV500 contactors do not replace external fuses, circuit breakers, or suitable pre-charge arrangements. Verify current and voltage under load, coil supply, operating duty, auxiliary contacts, mounting and environmental requirements for the exact model.
Manufacturer reference: Albright HV500 product family.
