DC contactor is one of the key components in DC charging pile. It is mainly used to control the output switch of DC charging pile to achieve the transmission and disconnection of electric energy. DC contactor has the characteristics of fast response, high reliability and low power consumption, which can ensure the safe operation of the charging pile. DC contactors are equipped in the middle of the charging battery system software and inverter power supply of electric vehicles.
First of all, the use of the occasion and the control circuit of the operating parameters have a comprehensive understanding of the example of the control power, operating voltage, current, operating frequency, operating system, operating circuit parameters and environmental conditions, etc. to understand. Then from a variety of series of contactors to determine the choice of contactor models and specifications suitable for its purpose.
When it comes to choosing a DC contactor, we generally look at a few key aspects. Current rating: Choose a contactor with a current rating higher than the maximum current you expect to carry. Physical Size: Consider the physical size of the contactor and make sure it fits in the space you have available. Load Type: Consider the type of load you are switching.

Leakage circuit breaker, is a protection of leakage of electrical equipment, when the current in the power supply, more than the maximum current value set in advance, leakage circuit breaker will automatically disconnect, play a role in protecting the power supply, so as not to bring unnecessary safety accidents. In the leakage circuit breaker wiring diagram, there is a zero line, fire line, no leakage under the circumstances, the fire line and the zero line in the opposite direction, the current is equal, when there is a leakage of electricity, it will produce magnetic force, the current is not equal, so that the leakage circuit breaker will be disconnected, to achieve the role of protection.
The main function of the earth leakage circuit breaker is that when a person occurs leakage or electric shock accident, the earth leakage circuit breaker device will immediately cut off the power supply, to protect people’s safety, to prevent the occurrence of electric shock accident.
most of breakers divided into type A, type AC, type B, the most common are type A and type B,
AC type leakage protector: AC type leakage protector is developed and designed for industrial frequency sinusoidal leakage current, which can reliably protect against sudden and slowly rising sinusoidal leakage current.
A-type leakage protector: A-type leakage protector and AC-type leakage protector are basically the same in working principle (measuring the leakage value through zero sequence current transformer), only the magnetic characteristics of the transformer are improved, ① in addition to sinusoidal leakage signal can be reliably protected, ② it can also be reliably protected against pulsating DC component of the leakage signal. In electric vehicle charging pile, this type of product is applied more.
Type B earth leakage protector: In addition to ensuring disconnection like the type F earth leakage protector, the type B earth leakage protector can also ensure disconnection under the following currents. ① sinusoidal AC residual current of 1000Hz and below; ② AC residual current superimposed on smooth DC residual current; ③ pulsating DC residual current superimposed on smooth DC residual current; ④ pulsating DC residual current generated by two-phase or multi-phase rectifier circuit; ⑤ smooth DC residual current. And it has nothing to do with the polarity and the sudden appearance or slow rise of residual current.
Type B has more protection and is relatively safer, but correspondingly more costly
Circuit breakers for charging pile are generally divided into MCB, RCBO, RCCB, and over-under-voltage switch, according to the actual charging pile function needs to choose the appropriate circuit breaker,
RCBO is Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection，RCBO is the most versatile, with short-circuit + overload + leakage, three kinds of protective functions, the main function of the RCBO is to ensure protection against earth fault currents, overloads and short circuit currents.
MCB miniature circuit breaker is an electromagnetic device used to automatically break a circuit when the current flowing through it exceeds a set value. The MCB can also be turned on and off like a regular switch if desired. These devices are rated for 220 volts for DC power and 240/415 for AC power, including varying short-circuit current capabilities.MCBs perform a variety of functions, such as local control switches, overload protection devices for specific appliances or equipment, and disconnect switches to prevent errors.
RCCB: Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection. without overcurrent protection, also known as leakage switch.
1, the nature of different: MCB is the construction of electrical terminal power distribution device cited in the most widely used in a terminal protection appliances, RCBO is to prevent the occurrence of human body in the low-voltage lines or leakage of electricity caused by fire, explosion of a switching appliances, RCCB is used in the equipment leakage faults as well as a fatal risk of personal electric shock protection.
2, the characteristics of different: RCCB has the function of leakage current detection and judgement, and does not have to cut off and turn on the main circuit function of the leakage protection device. rcbo can quickly action, cut off the accident power supply, to avoid the expansion of the accident, to protect the person, the safety of the equipment. mcb by the operating mechanism, contacts, protection devices (various off-trigger), extinguish the arc of the system and so on.
