Hey guys,
I'm building a dummy load battery discharger from 10 1500w 5ohm resistors.
This device will carry sometimes 150A on about 80V and sometimes 100V (not for discharge but more like a short stress test).
The problem is, when you connect the last wire to close a circuit then at these amps there is a giant spark that can really create a surge that will break any connector in half when it first touches before it's sitted all the way in.
I need a switch like those 200A 12V car DC trip switches but that will handle a much higher voltage.
Is there such a thing?
