Solid state contactor ACS 1500

The newly engineered solid state contactor ACS 1500 was designed as a non-wearing and maintenance-free alternative to mechanical contactors for railway applications in AC systems. As no maintenance is required, remarkable cost savings will be achieved in high cycling applications.

The solid state contactor ACS can be used in manifold applications such as a load contactor for railway heaters, conditioning devices etc.
