FH67NE 200A/270A new energy relay | High-Current 1000VAC Switch for Photovoltaic, Battery Storage & Industrial Equipment

Product Overview

The FH67NE is a high-performance, high-power new energy relay developed by Zhejiang Fanhar Electronics (FANHAR) for photovoltaic new energy and industrial high-load applications. It is available in two contact switching capability options – 200A and 270A – featuring a single set of double-break, normally open contacts with a contact gap of 4.0mm or greater. Utilizing AgSnO₂ as the contact material, the relay can switch up to 220A (200A version) or 275A (270A version) at 1000VAC, with maximum switching capacities of 220,000VA and 275,000VA respectively. With outstanding electrical performance, rigorous safety design, and comprehensive international certifications, the FH67NE has become a core switching component in demanding applications such as PV inverters, energy storage systems, and industrial control equipment.

As global PV installed capacity continues to rise and the energy storage industry expands rapidly, new energy systems impose increasingly stringent requirements on relays in terms of high-current carrying capability, high-voltage safety margins, and long-term reliability. The FH67NE is precisely Fanhar’s flagship new energy relay product developed in response to this industry trend, effectively addressing the urgent market need for high-power, high-safety, and low-energy-consumption relays.

Selection Guide: Comparison of 200A and 270A Versions

The FH67NE series offers two current ratings – 200A and 270A – with the core difference lying in the main terminal structure design, enabling engineers to flexibly choose based on actual load requirements:

Parameter FH67NE 200 FH67NE 270
Rated Current (carrying) 200A 270A
Max. Switching Current 220A 275A
Max. Switching Capacity 220,000VA 275,000VA

Both versions are identical in contact gap (≥4.0mm), insulation class (Class F), coil parameters, and overall dimensions. Selection should be based primarily on the actual load current and switching capacity requirements of the system.

Core Technical Advantages

Double-Break Structure for High-Voltage Safety

The product features a single set of double-break, normally open contact configuration with a contact gap ≥4.0mm. The double-break design creates two series-breaking arcs during disconnection, effectively enhancing arc extinguishing capability. Combined with the large contact gap of over 4.0mm, it significantly improves electrical isolation performance under high-voltage conditions, ensuring safe disconnection at 1000VAC.

Class F Insulation System for High Temperature and Long Life

The UL insulation system meets Class F requirements, allowing insulation materials to withstand continuous operating temperatures of 155°C. Together with a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, the FH67NE maintains stable electrical performance and service life even in high-temperature environments such as outdoor PV power stations and industrial distribution cabinets.

Optional Heat Sink Design for Enhanced Thermal Management

The FH67NE is available with an optional heat sink model, offering significantly better heat dissipation than the standard version. This design is particularly suitable for applications involving sustained high-current conduction or high ambient temperatures, effectively reducing relay temperature rise and extending electrical life.

Environmentally Compliant and Globally Adaptable

The product complies with RoHS environmental directives and has obtained UL, TÜV, and CQC international certifications, providing strong global market access capability.

Core Electrical Performance

Load Capability

The FH67NE has a rated current (carrying) of 200A (270A for the 270A version). Its rated load (resistive) conditions are: Make 55A, Carry rated current, Break 55A. Maximum switching voltage is 1000VAC, maximum switching current is 220A (200A version) / 275A (270A version), and maximum switching capacity is 220,000VA (200A version) / 275,000VA (270A version).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the main differences between the FH67NE 200A and 270A versions?

The core differences lie in current-carrying capacity and main terminal structure. The 270A version has a maximum switching current of 275A and maximum switching capacity of 275,000VA, with a slotted main terminal bottom; the 200A version has a maximum switching current of 220A and maximum switching capacity of 220,000VA, with a non-slotted main terminal bottom. Both versions share the same contact gap, insulation class, coil parameters, and outline dimensions.

Q2: What practical benefits does the ≥4.0mm contact gap provide?

The large contact gap of over 4.0mm significantly improves the relay’s electrical isolation capability: ① reduces arc restrike risk, enhancing disconnection reliability; ② meets the strict clearance requirements of high-voltage applications; ③ combined with the double-break structure, forms a dual safety barrier ensuring safe operation at 1000VAC.

Q3: For which scenarios is the heat sink model recommended?

The heat sink model is particularly recommended for: ① outdoor PV power stations with high ambient temperatures; ② applications requiring prolonged high-current conduction; ③ high-reliability systems with strict temperature rise limits. Its heat dissipation is significantly better than the standard version, effectively reducing relay temperature rise and extending electrical life. However, note that the heat sink is electrically live, so a 10mm safety clearance must be maintained during installation.
