LV320/400, LV160/250, LV80/120 – Charging connectors
High Power Connectors for faster charging of industrial trucks
Schaltbau LV series connectors meet the requirements of charging connectors featuring a higher current-carrying capacity in compliance with the EN 1175 and DIN VDE 0623-589 standards.
They are available with the option, as patented by Schaltbau, for batteries featuring a commercial electrolyte circulation system and meet all current demands of manufacturers and users of modern battery-powered machines and systems, such as materials handling and lifting vehicles, vehicle batteries, battery chargers, and backup systems of uninterruptible power supplies.
A red keying plug is used for charging wet batteries with 120 A, 250 A and 380 A, respectively and prevents mismating of the connector effectively.
The high power connectors are, therefore, ideally suited for modern fast chargers as used for industrial trucks, thus catering to the intersts of the material handling industry which aims at shortening the times for charging the vehicle battery. Charging faster means reducing downtime and saving costs.
