Applications

Automotive Switching Solutions

Durakool have relay, contactor and pre-charge & discharge resistor switching solutions, for every switching application within automotive and electric vehicles (EVs), whether they be cars, buses, trucks, excavators, tractors, combine harvesters, buggies, utility vehicles or baggage carriers. If it can be switched, we can help you. High and low voltage solutions and high and low current carrying devices to meet your requirements. Special function plug in relays for particular requirements are also catered for. Can’t see what you are looking for? We are here to help.

Battery Storage Switching Solutions

Batteries have been used for energy storage for 100 plus years. Durakool’s long heritage of switching DC power for electricity generation & storage was initially with lead acid low voltage DC and more recently, lithium-ion HVDC battery systems. Our DSC contactors switch up to 2000A at 60VDC & our DEVR series can carry as much as 1000A at voltages as high as 1000VDC. Typical applications (also for our Temperature & resistor solutions) include telephone exchanges (48VDC) and solar or wind power buffering. DEVRs are also used for portable, emergency, field back-up power installations where reliability & low weight are important.

Consumer Goods Switching Solutions

Durakool offers a broad range of PCB and chassis mounting relays plus PT temperature sensors and resistors suitable for consumer “white” and “brown” goods. Small, low cost, PCB power relays are used for remote control, timers, heating and pump motor control and have applications in cookers, broilers, washing machines and all manner of small electrical appliances. Larger, chassis mounting, relays are used in applications such as built-in oven cooling fan controls and stair lifts. Durakool’s long experience of power switching makes us your ideal partner! Contact our Engineers today to discuss how we can help.
