FAQs
The device has a compact footprint with 54 mm width, 90 mm depth, and 108.3 mm height. It uses screw-terminals for all main, auxiliary, and control connections, with a recommended tightening torque of 2.3 N·m on the main circuit and 1 N·m on auxiliary and control circuits.
The control circuit is AC-operated for 50 Hz at 220–230 V and 60 Hz at 230–240 V, accommodating standard regional mains without requiring coil transformers in most installations.
AC-3 rated current is typically 32 A at 415–440–500–690 V variants (and 21 A at 690 V for certain ratings), while AC-1 rated current is 55 A at 220–240 V and remains 32 A at many higher voltages depending on ambient temperature.
The contactor carries CE conformity, UL certification, and RoHS compliance, along with REACH, TSCA, CCC, CCC DoC, and WEEE B2B registrations, enabling global deployment and regulatory assurance.
Low coil power (2.5 W AC-1 per pole, 0.9 W AC-3 per pole) reduces heat and energy use, while built-in and add-on auxiliary contacts simplify wiring and diagnostics. The IP20 rating and modular mounting support long service life with minimal downtime, lowering maintenance and replacement costs.
