vol.266 March 2023
A new high-capacity type of 1000VAC 300A is now available
in the G9KA series
Demand for high-capacity distributed PV inverters has been increasing in recent years in terms of stable power supply, capital investment, installation cost reduction, and maintenance man-hours.
However, the higher the capacity, the higher the temperature of the board and mounted components, resulting in a shorter product life.
In addition to the conventional 200A type, OMRON has added a new high-capacity type to the series with a high current switching of 300A and a design structure that suppresses temperature rise.

G9KA-1A-E 1000VAC 300A realized by “heat suppression” and “heat dissipation”
By focusing on both heat suppression and heat dissipation structures and incorporating them into the design, the G9KA series has achieved a high current of 300A class while maintaining the low heat generation that is a feature of the G9KA series.
![Heat suppression structure [Double-break twin structure that suppresses heat by shunting current (Parallel current-carrying paths for shunting)] + Heat dissipation structure [High heat dissipation terminal structure with high legs for better air passage] => Relay temperature rise can be suppressed, thus improving performance in various aspects. [High capacity: Energizes and interrupts 1000VAC 300A, the highest among OMRON’s high-capacity power relay products] [Long life: Reduced PCB damage due to high temperatures] [Downsizing: Reduction of the number of heat-dissipating parts enables reduction of the PCB area] [Energy-saving: Improved power generation efficiency by reducing energy waste due to heat generation]](/sites/default/files/2023-03/onboard_266_2_04_en.png)
