anyone used the volt gen 1 contractors?
from what I gather they are paralleled for 400A and 380v.
Im guessing they are controlled by 12vdc?

tested and it does work on 12v for coils
from what I see online it looks like they are rated at 125A each so I will parallel them.

 

[morvolts]

you say "they" as in plural?
I have reconfigured then(2) for parallel.
How many amps did you run thru"them" when it welded closed?
normally welded contacts are from overloading.
The only rating I see for Panasonic is 125A,which Im guessing is full time,
I see nothing on intermittent.

They as in one in the positive line and one in the negative line - and I did overload them a wee bit - probably about 700 amps

Running several in parallel is not normally recommended as you don't know how they will share

"wee bit" 700A thats funny
I wont go but about half that
