£2,789.80
The IMO MPV240-S-00230 is a heavy-duty DC switching contactor designed for demanding high-voltage direct current applications including photovoltaic systems, battery energy storage, rapid shutdown systems and industrial DC control panels. Built for reliable DC isolation and switching, it provides dependable operation where conventional AC contactors are not suitable.
As part of the robust IMO MPV Series, this contactor is rated for 240 A at 1000 V DC under DC1 utilisation. It features a 230 V AC/DC operating coil, allowing flexible integration into industrial control systems, renewable energy installations and panel-mounted DC power applications.
With its high current capacity, industrial construction and reliable contact design, the MPV240-S-00230 is ideal for panel builders, renewable energy installers and OEM manufacturers requiring safe, efficient and long-lasting switching of high-voltage DC circuits.
DC circuits are more difficult to interrupt than AC circuits because the current does not naturally pass through zero. The IMO MPV240-S-00230 is specifically engineered for direct current switching, helping reduce arcing and maintain reliable operation in high-voltage DC systems.
This makes it particularly suitable for renewable energy installations, battery banks, emergency stop circuits and industrial DC systems where safe disconnection and dependable contactor performance are critical.
