When Lightning Meets Reliability
At a Tesla Supercharger station in Shenzhen, engineers recently discovered an unexpected hero – the FUJI CR6L-250G relay. This palm-sized component handles 250A continuous current while withstanding voltage spikes up to 4kV, becoming the invisible backbone of China’s expanding 800V fast-charging network.
Breaking the 15-Minute Charging Barrier
NIO’s latest battery swap stations reveal why major manufacturers choose this relay: 0.5ms arc extinguishing speed (30% faster than industry average) enables 400kW ultra-fast charging without safety compromises. Real-world data from 152 charging piles shows 99.992% operational reliability over 18 months – that’s less than 5 failures per 10,000 charges.

During -35°C extreme tests, the CR6L-250G maintained stable contact resistance below 0.5mΩ while competitors’ devices fluctuated between 2-5mΩ. This translates to 18% faster charging speeds in sub-zero conditions according to CATARC’s 2023 EV report.
Beyond EVs: Energy Storage’s New Frontier
In the Zhangbei National Wind-Solar Storage Project, 8,400 CR6L-250G units manage energy flow across 700MWh battery racks. Their 100,000-cycle mechanical endurance (backed by TÜV certification) reduces maintenance costs by ¥2.3 million annually compared to previous solutions.
“It’s not just a component, it’s the gatekeeper of power ecosystems,” remarks Dr. Wang from Tsinghua University’s Energy Innovation Lab. As DC systems dominate 73% of new energy projects (CNESA 2024 data), this relay’s 8mm creepage distance and anti-corrosion design set new safety benchmarks.
