[0031] It should be noted that the DC contactor housing provided in the embodiment of the present application is an insulating housing, wherein the specific shape of the protective housing body 100 can be selected by those skilled in the art according to needs.

[0032] The moving contact system 102 can reciprocate in a straight line direction in the installation chamber 101. When the moving contact system 102 approaches the terminal assembly 112 in a straight line until the two are in contact, the circuit breaker is closed. In this state, the second indicator 104 on the moving contact system 102 is flush with the visual window 105, that is, the second indicator 104 can be seen through the visual window 105. When the moving contact system 102 moves away from the terminal assembly 112 in a straight line until the two are separated, the circuit breaker is opened. In this state, the first indicator 103 on the moving contact system 102 is flush with the visual window 105, that is, the first indicator 103 can be seen through the visual window 105.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the visible window 105 is set on the first shell 107. By setting an isolation protection cover 110 shell between the moving contact system 102 and the first shell 107, the arc generated by the opening and closing of the moving contact system 102 and the terminal assembly 112 can be effectively prevented from passing through the visible window 105, thereby achieving arc isolation and effectively improving the safety of the visible window 105 of the DC contactor.

[0051] It should be noted that the isolation protection cover 110 is made of a transparent insulating material, such as glass.
