The Littelfuse LS7R dc series is an energy-efficient, compact disconnect switch that quickly breaks or resumes the flow of current safely to prevent shock hazards when trying to isolate circuits or repair systems. It is a 1500V DC disconnect for ungrounded systems.
Features & Benefits
- The patented operation system minimizes damage caused by arcs upon disconnection to increase product reliability and longevity
- Streamline design eliminates the need for external bridging links (jumpers) to lower heat dissipation for increased energy efficiency, decreased installation and maintenance time, and reduced footprint for added design flexibility
- High-level disconnection insulation provides a barrier to stop conduction when switch is in off position for added safety
- The self-cleaning blade contacts eliminate performance degradation (from increased electrical resistance over time) to ensure consistent behavior across the product’s lifespan
- The internally-located "sandwich-type" 2-contact symmetrical design mitigates the electromagnetic force of repulsion to offer enhanced functionality in short-circuit conditions
- Meets UL 94 flammability requirements with self-extinguishing/non-flammable materials to prevent fires
Applications
- Solar/PV systems: combiner boxes, recombiner boxes and inverters
- Energy storage systems: disconnection of batteries, containerized batteries
- Oil & gas: DC drives
- Railway: earthing switches and battery disconnection
- UPS: switching and isolation of batteries
- Electrical vehicle chargers
