FAQs
Install on TH35 style rails (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) with 2x M4 screws for mounting. Ensure coil and main terminals are accessible, and tighten control circuit to 1.2 N·m and main circuit to 2.5 N·m. The unit features IP20 protection for coil and main terminations, suitable for dry indoor environments.
AC-3 current rating at 690 V is 21.2 A (at 60 °C) or 20 A (440–500 V variants) with a rated power of up to 11 kW. For AC-1, I_e is 45 A at 690 V and 40 A at 690 V 60 °C, with power loss around 1.6 W per pole. These figures support reliable motor switching for typical IEC 60947-4-1 applications.
Yes. The coil accepts 100–250 V for AC operation and DC operation as well, enabling tolerance of control voltage variations. Built‑in surge protection further reduces risk from voltage spikes, making it well-suited for networks with unstable supply without compromising motor control.
The product aligns with IEC 60947‑1 and IEC 60947‑4‑1, UL 60335‑2‑40 and UL 60947‑1/4‑1, CSA equivalents, plus CE/UKCA declarations. This broad certification footprint helps meet regulatory requirements for many markets and simplifies cross‑border panel builds.
Its built‑in surge protection reduces contact wear and trip events, while screw terminals and DIN‑rail compatibility simplify maintenance. With reliable 3600 mechanical cycles and up to 600 electrical cycles per hour, recurring downtime is minimized, yielding lower maintenance costs and higher asset uptime.
