Yes. The 1SBL291501R8600 is designed for DIN rail mounting (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and offers screw terminals for main and control circuits, delivering secure, vibration-resistant connections ideal for panel builders and retrofit projects.
AC-1: 55 A at 690 V (40 °C). AC-3 ratings vary by voltage and temperature, with typical values around 21.2 A at 415 V (60 °C) and 20 A at 440 V (60 °C). These ratings translate to reliable switching for motor loads and general use in line applications while preserving coil life and switch reliability.
Yes. The coil is rated for 50 Hz at 400–415 V and for 60 Hz at 415–440 V, ensuring proper operation across global electrical standards without separate coil variants.
The device carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 compliance, UL 60947-1 and UL 60947-4-1, plus CE and UKCA marks, with additional BV, CB, CCC, CQC, and other declarations supporting worldwide deployment in controlled environments.
The 4-pole, modular AFC design with DIN rail mounting and screw terminals enables faster panel assembly, reduced wiring complexity, and easier retrofits. Its robust insulation, IP20 protection, and 690 V rating minimize downtime, while modular accessories cut spare-parts inventory and maintenance costs over the life of the equipment.
