DC changeover switch

Recommended Posts

Looking to multipurpose a PV string between a PV vsd drive (Runs about 2 or 3 days a week) and a fronius grid tie ( on Multiplus output). OC volts good for both., 720 V 18 A. Could use 2 DC switches but there is operational risk so changeover better.

problem finding a DC rated changeover rated for at least 750 V 25 A. Search for dc changeover only brings up AC units.

Anyone done this? Maybe an old school knife switch double throw?

You could use a high voltage changeover dc contactor with permanent blow out magnets but will be quite expensive. Below contact details for Aztec in Elandsfontein Gauteng as they stock various dc contactors. Below link to their website. Search under industrial and mining on their web page.
