Carpinteria, California, July 19, 2024 – Rincon Power is pleased to announce the launch of its latest flagship – the RXR1K contactor. The RXR1K introduces several new features and performance enhancements, solidifying Rincon Power’s position as a leader in high voltage contactors, relays, and manual disconnect switches.
The RXR1K features a ceramic seal, ensuring superior durability and thermal capability. It also features extremely low contact resistance and a dual coil design, making it the lightest 1,200 A continuous duty contactor available on the market. This advanced contactor supports megawatt charging, energy storage systems, utility scale PV systems, large inverters, and rail applications.
This robust contactor boasts unparalleled switching performance, with the ability to interrupt more than 2.5MW of power - ideal for emergency shutdown under full load conditions. The gas-filled inner chamber with arc suppression blow-out magnets allows true bi-directional current interruption.
The RXR1K also offers an optional SPDT auxiliary feedback, providing both a normally-open and normally-closed status indicator. This feature grants integrators and engineers maximum design flexibility without compromising safety. The hermetically sealed enclosure protects the internals against harsh environments including dust, moisture, and corrosive agents, ensuring predictable superior performance over the product's lifespan, with zero maintenance required.
“When it comes to performance, the RXR1K is unmatched” said Brian Munari, Business Development Manager at Rincon Power. “With its gas-filled ceramic design, ultra-low contact resistance, and efficient dual coil design, this contactor sets the standard for performance and reliability.”
