Jeff, I think you can get mercury contactors at 48V and above, up to 100A and three poles, from Mercury Displacement Industries, www.mdius.com. This company made the DC contactors used for years in Ananda/APT/Pulse powercenters during the 1990s. Never known one to fail. Mercury safely contained.

The UPS system is powering all DC loads, and as such the batteries will be connected directly to the backup loads panel. I am wondering if any of you are familiar with a relay that will operate as a low voltage disconnect/reconnect. We are using stacks of three xantrex xw inverter/chargers for each back up battery bank. Do any wrenches know of a relay that would work for this configuration (48 volt battery bank)? I thank you all for your time and expertise.
