Advantages and Features

The ABB 07KR51 220VDC contactor offers distinct advantages for DC power control. It is specifically designed to extinguish the DC arc effectively, which is more challenging than an AC arc due to the lack of a natural current zero crossing. This design ensures reliable interruption and long contact life. The contactor features a robust electromagnetic system for positive operation and a mechanical construction designed for high electrical and mechanical endurance. Its modular design often allows for the easy addition of auxiliary contact blocks and pneumatic timers. The ABB 07KR51 is built to ABB’s high-quality standards, providing dependable performance in critical applications such as traction, battery systems, and renewable energy.

Application Cases in Various Fields

• Railway & Traction: Controlling main power circuits, pre-charge circuits, and auxiliary systems in trams, metros, and locomotives.

• Renewable Energy (Solar PV): Disconnecting strings of solar panels, connecting battery banks, and serving as the main DC isolator in large-scale photovoltaic inverter systems.

• Industrial Battery Systems: Managing charge/discharge circuits for large forklift battery rooms, UPS backup systems, and material handling automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

• DC Motor Control: Starting, stopping, and reversing large DC motors in industrial drives, such as those used in rolling mills or hoists.

• Capacitor Bank Switching: Connecting and disconnecting power factor correction capacitor banks in DC substations or industrial rectifier systems.

Comparison with Competing Products

Compared to general-purpose AC contactors used in DC circuits (which is not recommended and leads to rapid failure), the ABB 07KR51 220VDC is specifically engineered for DC, offering vastly superior performance and lifespan. Compared to other DC contactor brands like TE Connectivity (Kilovac), Gigavac, or Siemens (3TL), the 07KR51 is ABB’s heavy-duty solution in this segment. Its key differentiators often include its modular accessory system, global service availability, and a reputation for robustness in high-cycle industrial environments. For very high-speed or ultra-high current DC switching, specialized vacuum contactors might be considered, but for most heavy industrial DC applications, the ABB 07KR51 is a standard and reliable choice.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Load Current & Voltage: The most critical step. Select the exact ABB 07KR51 variant with a current rating (Ie) that exceeds the maximum continuous load current of your application at 220V DC. Consider inrush currents for motors or capacitive loads.

2. Coil Voltage Match: Ensure the contactor’s coil operating voltage matches your control circuit supply (e.g., 24V DC control system). Using an incorrect coil voltage will prevent operation or damage the coil.

3. Pole Requirement: Determine if you need to break only the positive line (1-pole), both lines (2-pole), or multiple DC circuits (3-pole).

4. Arc Suppression: For inductive loads (motors, solenoids), external DC suppression circuits (like RC snubbers or varistors) across the load or contacts are often mandatory to protect the contacts from excessive arcing and voltage spikes.

5. Protection Coordination: The contactor is a switching device, not a protection device. It must be protected against short-circuits by appropriately rated DC fuses or circuit breakers installed upstream.
