Supporting the expansion of DC grids with “safe and secure interruption”

The need for PV and ESS is expanding as carbon neutrality accelerates. DC grids are used, which are driven directly by DC without AC conversion, as a method to efficiently utilize the electricity generated by these DCs. Japan eagerly awaits the implementation of DC grids. The need for DC interruption capability will expand in proportion to the progress of DC grid implementation and deployment. Furthermore, DC interruption requires safe arc control and miniaturization. OMRON’s DC relays contribute to the design of compact and highly functional products by making full use of numerous technologies for safe interruption.
