Why Choose the IMO MPV400-S-00230 DC Switching Contactor?
The IMO MPV400-S-00230 is a heavy-duty DC switching contactor designed for high-voltage direct current applications including photovoltaic systems, battery energy storage, EV charging infrastructure and industrial DC isolation. Engineered for dependable DC load switching, it provides reliable control where conventional AC contactors are not suitable.
As part of the IMO MPV Series, this contactor is rated for 400 A at 1000 V DC under DC1 utilisation. It features a 230 V AC/DC operating coil, making it suitable for integration into renewable energy systems, industrial control panels and high-current DC distribution equipment.
With its robust construction, high current capacity and 1 string switching configuration, the MPV400-S-00230 is ideal for panel builders, renewable energy installers and OEM manufacturers requiring safe, reliable and long-lasting high-voltage DC switching performance.
Key Advantages
