HVD 450

Name: HVD 450
Brand: MUTEC
Availability: InStock

The HVD 450 is a unique, wear-free switching and management system for discharging high voltage DC links. Discharging is done through a discharge resistor provided by the customer.

Instead of using mechanical contactors to switch the discharging process, the HVD 450 comes with a unique high voltage transistor which works wear-free. This gives the device a long service life and eliminates the need to regularly replace expensive high-voltage contactors. In addition, the HVD 450 enables intelligent monitoring of the discharging process and stops it in the event of faults

Product Description
Technical Data

As industries shift to higher voltages of up to 1500V in DC links, efficient energy storage and discharge systems are crucial. Traditionally, mechanical contactors were used but faced wear and tear when switched under load.

The HVD 450 eliminates this issue by seamlessly switching discharge circuits without wear down, ensuring long-lasting performance. It integrates precise current and voltage monitoring for realtime surveillance of the discharge process. Control is simple and efficient with a standard 5-24V signal from a PLC.

The device provides comprehensive feedback on the discharge process, including potential errors or hazards. Experience the future of discharge technology with the HVD 450.
