Image of Altran Magnetics, LLC AEVT1000 Series High-Voltage DC Contactor The AEVT1000 series from Altran Magnetics is a heavy-duty, high-voltage DC contactor built for today's most demanding power systems. Designed to carry and switch 1,000 A and up to 1,500 V_DC, this rugged contactor utilizes a ceramic-sealed, inert-gas-filled arc chamber to eliminate arc leakage, thereby making it suitable for explosive or high-risk environments.

This series supports bidirectional switching, can be mounted in any orientation, and includes economized coil circuitry to reduce power draw. With several flexible configuration options, including auxiliary contacts, busbar or flying lead terminations, and either 12 V or 24 V coils, the AEVT1000 is ideal for applications requiring a compact footprint, robust protection, and long-lasting electrical performance. Fully RoHS-compliant and CE-certified, the AEVT1000 is engineered for ultra-reliable DC load management in renewable energy, e-mobility, and industrial control systems.
