GIGAVAC MXSL15 Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) is an autonomous device designed to protect batteries from over-discharge, preventing permanent damage. This contactor, which can operate at 12Vdc, 24Vdc, or 48Vdc, stands out as a critical component in ensuring battery health and longevity.
Technical Performance and Reliability
The MXSL15 series is specifically engineered for high-performance DC power switching. Key features include:
- Sealed Construction: Designed with IP67/IP69K protection ratings, allowing it to operate reliably in harsh environments (moisture, dust, dirt).
- Adjustable Cut-off Settings: Allows the user to set specific voltage levels for disconnecting the battery.
- High Current Capacity: Capable of switching continuous currents up to 150A.
- Integrated Design: Features built-in control electronics, eliminating the need for external LVD controllers or sensing logic.
Application Areas
The MXSL15 series is widely used in systems where battery protection is vital:
- Renewable Energy: Solar and wind energy storage systems.
- Electric Vehicles (EV): Maintenance and protection of auxiliary battery groups.
- Industrial Equipment: Battery-powered mobile reach trucks and AGVs.
- Telecommunications: UPS and backup power systems.
- Marine & RV: Battery management in marine vessels and recreational vehicles.
Why MXSL15?
Unlike traditional solid-state switches, GIGAVAC contactors provide physical air-gap isolation, minimizing power loss and leakage current. The MXSL15 prevents batteries from reaching a "dead" state by cutting the load when the voltage drops below the threshold, thereby maintaining the State of Charge (SoC) and facilitating easier recharging.
Designed to meet the high standards of the industrial electronics sector, the GIGAVAC MXSL15 series combines durability with precision sensing for the most demanding DC power applications.
