This electromechanical power switch is used as a main contactor in a variety of EV systems. It does not have an internal economizer, so the external control circuit should provide this feature (many controllers use PWM economizers).
You may also want to consider the EV200 with Economizer for 12-24v control circuits which do not provide an economizer. An economizer circuit typically reduces current after closing for cooler, more efficient operation.
