People Electric · High-Voltage DC Contactor
Product overview
People Electric RDC8Z contactors switch DC loads in charging, battery, energy-storage and photovoltaic systems. The manufacturer main-contact table lists six continuous-current ratings and a1000VDC maximum switching voltage. The control wiring diagram separately specifies a9–36VDC coil circuit.
Technical selection summary
| Manufacturer / series | Original People Electric RDC8Z |

| Mechanical endurance | 300,000 operations, as catalogued |
| Electrical endurance at1000VDC, resistive load | 50A:1500;100A:1000;150A:800;200A:500;250/300A:300 operations at their stated continuous current |
| Auxiliary contacts | Optional; confirm NO/NC/changeover arrangement. Catalogue lists5A and maximum120VDC separately; duty-specific switching capacity requires confirmation. |
| Environment | −40 to +85°C;5–85%RH; altitude <2,000m |
| Construction / mounting | Sealed main-contact construction; mounting and lead arrangement follow the exact current and auxiliary-contact version |
Main-load voltage and coil voltage are separate specifications. Confirm the exact coil supply, auxiliary arrangement, load inductance and switching duty with the enquiry. The one-operation breaking-current figures at320VDC do not establish repeated fault-breaking duty at1000VDC. Use the model-specific endurance and installation data.
Typical applications
- DC switching in compatible EV charging, battery, energy-storage, photovoltaic and DC supply equipment.
