FAQs
Install on a 35 x 15 mm or 35 x 7.5 mm DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and secure with the appropriate mounting. Wire the main circuit to screw terminals with 1/2 x 2.5 to 4 mm² solid or stranded conductor and the control circuit to 0.75 to 2.5 mm². Tighten main terminals to 2.5 N·m and control terminals to 1.2 N·m as specified.
AC-3 ratings vary by voltage: at 415–440–690 V, Ie is typically 24–38 A depending on temperature (60 °C). AC-1 ratings at 690 V show 40–50 A depending on ambient conditions. The device is designed for AC-3 duty up to 18.5 kW at some voltages and supports AC-1 control of general loads within its specifications.
Yes. The three-pole block contactor is intended for AC power circuits with motors, supporting AC-3 and AC-1 loads. With 3 poles and 690 V main circuit rating, it handles typical pump and conveyor motor switching, offering reliable operation with appropriate overload protection.
The device complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 LZGH2, and related declarations (CE, UKCA). These certifications support safe operation in global installations, including electrical heat pump and appliance safety contexts.
The contactor provides a maximum mechanical switching frequency of 3600 cycles per hour and a maximum short-time withstand current of up to 350 A for 10 seconds. Coil consumption is low (holding 8 V·A, pull-in around 66–70 V·A), contributing to reduced heat in control cabinets and longer device life with less energy waste.
