FAQs
This four-pole block contactor supports TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rails and uses screw terminals for main and control circuits. When wiring, maintain proper torque (Main 1.5 N·m, Control 1.2 N·m) and use flexible ferrules or solid conductors within the listed cross-section range. Ensure coil polarity is correct for the control circuit; use protective wiring practices and install auxiliary contact blocks only after verifying mounting clearance.
At 690 V and 40 °C, the Rated Operational Current (Ie) for AC-1 is 30 A. For AC-3, Ie is 18 A across 440–690 V ranges. These ratings help determine suitability for motor starting and running loads, with higher Ie for AC-1 indicating classic general-use power control and AC-3 for motor starting duties in appropriate circuits.
Yes, the 1SBL171201R8000 is designed for demanding factory automation tasks, including conveyors and pumps. It features a 690 V rated main circuit, 4P configuration, and a robust mechanical switching frequency.
