The Growing Demand for Megawatt Charging in Electric Mobility
According to industry reports, megawatt charging systems are critical to supporting the rapid electrification of commercial transport fleets. Especially long-haul trucks and off-road vehicles. To meet this challenge, leaders in direct current (DC) technology like Schaltbau are stepping up with robust solutions that enable fast, reliable, and scalable charging infrastructure. At The Battery Show Europe 2025 in Stuttgart, Schaltbau will showcase its advanced Eddicy megawatt contactors. Schaltbau will demonstrate how these compact components are pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle charging.
Eddicy Contactors Lead the Way in MCS Level 2 and 3 Charging
Schaltbau’s latest Eddicy product line supports both stationary and mobile Megawatt Charging System (MCS) applications. The contactors are specifically designed to meet the high power demands of MCS Level 2 and 3, delivering up to 3,000 amps for ultra-fast charging. These high-performance components enable EVs—such as electric trucks, buses, and off-road vehicles—to recharge within minutes, aligning with real-world operational schedules. With a focus on system safety, energy efficiency, and long-term performance, Eddicy contactors are purpose-built to support the growing ecosystem of electric commercial transportation.
Safety, Efficiency, and Reliability for Harsh Environments
What sets Eddicy’s megawatt contactors apart is their durability under extreme conditions. Models like the C330 can handle short-circuit currents up to 15,000A for five milliseconds without welding—ensuring continued system safety and reducing the risk of component failure. The contactors feature open-isolation construction and silver alloy contacts, resulting in low resistance (as low as 35 µOhm) and minimal energy loss. These attributes enhance safety and efficiency, particularly in heavy-duty, high-power environments such as mining, logistics, and large-scale transport hubs.
Compact Solutions for Infrastructure and E-Mobility Platforms
Beyond high-capacity systems, Schaltbau also offers space-saving options like the C303 and C803 contactors. These models are designed for EV charging stations and mobile platforms, where compact size and efficient heat management are essential. With minimal contact resistance and long operational lifespans, these components reduce downtime and maintenance costs by up to 25%. Whether powering a stationary depot or embedded within an e-mobility platform, Eddicy’s solutions provide scalable, reliable support for the future of electric mobility.
