FAQs
The contactor supports DIN rail mounting on TH35 profiles (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and can also be secured via two diagonal M4 screws. This provides flexible integration in compact control panels and easy retrofits in existing installations.
Main circuit rated voltage is 690 V with AC-1 current up to 55 A and AC-3 current approx. 21.2–23.2 A depending on voltage. Power rating for AC-3 is about 11 kW at common motor voltages, Ui is 690 V, and the coil operates at 175 V AC (50 Hz) / 208 V AC (60 Hz).
Yes. With four NO main contacts and appropriate short-time withstand capability, the device is well-suited for motor start/stop sequences in conveyors, pumps, and processing equipment. When used with auxiliary contact blocks, you can monitor status and integrate into PLC feedback loops for safer, more reliable operation.
The product carries CE and UL/CSA approvals, along with CB and BV certifications. It also aligns with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 standards, with additional regulatory marks like UKCA and CCC documented, ensuring global compatibility and formal conformity across multiple markets.
Ensure coil voltage matches your control circuit (175 V / 208 V options), use screw terminals or ferrules within listed cross-sections to prevent loose connections, and leverage add-on auxiliary blocks for diagnostics. The coil consumption is 8 V·A holding and higher pull-in values, with 2.3 W power loss per pole, translating to predictable running costs and reduced downtime.
