Contactors CP Series – Installation and Maintenance Instructions
Introduction
4. Introduction
4.1 CP series – 1 and 2 pole bi-direc-
tional high-voltage contactors, dis-
connectors, changeover switches
for DC and AC
Modular and compact switchgear for modern power
converters
With the CP series Schaltbau is introducing once more
an innovative concept to the switchgear market. The
arc-handling is done exclusively by permanent-mag-
netic blowout. This patented technology ensures fully
bi-directional breaking capability and a more compact
design. By reducing dimensions and weight we save
you valuable space.
For the rst time the universal devices can be cong-
ured as NO/NC contactor, disconnector or changeover
switch. This enables us to react exibly to changing
customer requirements. The high switching function-
ality and reliability ensure practical and cost eective
operation.
The combination of innovative technology, compact
design and high versatility makes the CP-power contac-
tors particularly suitable for use in railway and indus-
trial applications.
Thanks to its unique modular design, the new product
family includes a variety of possible congurations ca-
tering to a wide range of applications.
