KILOVAC KCS03 Current-Sensing
High-Voltage Contactor
600 A/28 VDC – 600 VDC Bi-Directional Power Switching in a
Rugged, Compact Package with Integrated Current Sensor and
Current Trip Function
AEROSPACE, DEFENSE & MARINE /// KCS03 CURRENT SENSING CONTACTOR
KILOVAC KCS03 Current-Sensing
High-Voltage Contactor
Compact Package with Integrated Current Sensor and Current Trip Function
The new KILOVAC Current Sensing [KCS] Contactors from
TE Connectivity (TE) eliminate the need for a discrete current sensor,
saving the customer money, weight and space. The sensor function
also has a programmable trip feature, allowing for immediate, delayed
or disabled trip.
Rugged Reliability
INTEGRATED CURRENT SENSOR
• Saves space by eliminating the need
for external sensor
• Simplifies design
• Flexible configuration for
application needs
HERMETICALLY SEALED
• Suitable for application in
harsh, explosive, and corrosive
environments
• No oxidation or contamination of
contacts, including long periods of
non-operation
SPACE AND WEIGHT SAVINGS
• Extremely small size
• Lightweight contactor: 500 grams
VERSATILE
• Bidirectional switching
• Main contacts not polarity sensitive
• Not position sensitive:
mounts in any orientation
EFFICIENT
• Integrated dual-coil electronic
economizer with coil suppression
• EMC compliant: no radiated
coil emissions
APPLICATIONS
• Energy Storage/Battery Storage
• Power Distribution
• Power Motion Control
• High-Voltage DC Converter Systems
• Alternative Energy
• Military and Commercial
Electric Vehicles
• Test Equipment
In addition to the integrated current sensing feature, KSC03 contactors
are rugged and hermetically sealed, making them suitable for a variety of
applications in harsh, corrosive and explosive environments. Even after
long periods of non-operation, the contacts are impervious to oxidation
and contamination.
Versatile and Efficient
The KCS03 contactor is extremely small and lightweight. It features
bidirectional switching and an integrated dual-coil electronic economizer
with coil suppression, and can be mounted in any orientation. Main
contacts are not polarity sensitive, and the KSC03 is EMC compliant with
no radiated coil emissions.
