FAQs
The device is designed for DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails and supports screw terminals for the main and control circuits. For retrofit or new builds, монтаж is straightforward with standard 2x M4 mounting screws and copper ferrule or solid conductor terminations, ensuring fast, vibration-resistant connections in control cabinets.
AC-1 rated current is 55 A at 690 V, which covers general-purpose non-inductive loads, while AC-3 ratings vary by voltage (e.g., 23.2 A at 690 V and 21.2 A at 415 V). These ratings determine suitability for motor starting and switching duties, guiding you to select the contactor for compressor, pump, and conveyor drives with predictable thermal performance.
Coil voltages are 220–230 V at 50 Hz and 230–240 V at 60 Hz, aligning with common European control circuits and reducing the need for additional transformers. Coil consumption is 8 V·A holding and 70 V·A pull-in for 50 Hz (66 V·A at 60 Hz), supporting energy-efficient control in medium-duty applications.
Yes. The AFC/AF platform block contactors support add-on auxiliary contact blocks and a wide accessory range, enabling customized interlocking, signaling, and control functions without redesigning the control cabinet. This modularity helps optimize space and simplifies maintenance.
The product carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1 compliance, UL 60947-1 and UL 60947-4-1 listings, and CE/UKCA declarations of conformity. Additional BV/CB/CQC/RINA/DNV/UL certificates support multi-region approvals, reducing certification lead times for international projects.
