My 1238R Curtis controller does the same thing, it just needs a small, external relay to do this (it is not internal). +1 point to Evenetics for friendly design. -1 point to Curtis for being "old school".
OK, In my world, an "emergency" disconnect is just that. To be used in an emergency. It is not something I would use to turn a current load on and off several times per day.
SO, as long as the contact points are far enough apart to actually interrupt the current, I am not concerned if my switch has the correct voltage rating.
My pack disconnect switch is rated at 650 amps but at 48VDC. I expect it to have a dramatic event if ever called on to interrupt 130VDC (if there is a load on it). I have designed my switch accordingly. It is operated through a 24" long piece of PVC tubing. My hand is 2 feet away from the switch.
A charred hole where the switch used to be is not a real problem because it stopped a larger event from happening.
It only cost me $53.00

Re: EV High Voltage, Turning it on and off:
All you need to do is provide key on 12v power to the controller. It handles the rest. The Soliton is unique in that it has the contractors built it, so the pack cut off is not so obvious to the eye.
