EATON DC Contactor Shunt Kits


Eaton DC contactor shunt kits are used with Eaton DC contactors to provide a way to safely disconnect the DC contactor from the circuit without damaging the contactor or the electric circuit. Shunt kits are used where the contactor switches have high DC voltages and currents in applications, su...ch as electric vehicles, renewable energy systems and industrial automation equipment.Read more

Working Mechanism

  • Eaton DC contactor shunt kits consist of a resistor or a set of resistors connected in parallel with the contactor.
  • When the contactor is closed and the circuit is energised, the current flows through both the contactor and the shunt resistors.
  • When the contactor opens, the current continues to flow through the shunt resistors, providing a low-resistance path for the current to follow and protecting the contactor and the circuit from damage.

Standards and Approvals

  • UL
  • CSA

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Eaton DC contactor shunt kits require maintenance?

It is recommended to periodically inspect them to ensure that they are clean and free of any damage or wear that could affect their performance.

What is the significance of the shunt in DC contactors?

The shunt allows contactors to use as switches for monitoring and control. They isolate electrical loads without breaking the main current flow.
