Are the LC1G Tesys Giga contactor line rated to break DC voltages?

Issue:

Can the LC1G500 contactor break 500A @ 460v DC?

Product Line:

Contactor and Starters

Environment:

Tesys Giga LC1G contactors

Resolution:

TeSys Control-Giga contactors are high power contactors (up to 800 A AC-3 or 1050 A AC-1) for AC/DC motor applications and AC/DC load applications. They can be used up to 1000 Vac power voltage and up to 460 Vdc power voltage.

No, LC1G500 (3 pole) version is not rated to break 500A @ 460v DC. However The LC1G5004 (4 pole) can only break 460A. Next is LC1G6304 (4 pole) can break up to 730A.
