FAQs
The 1SBL297501R1200 is designed for DIN rail mounting using TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails and can be secured with two M4 screws placed diagonally. For wiring, use screw terminals with ferrule-compatible or solid conductors sized per main circuit 1/2 x 1.5 to 16 mm² and control circuit 1/2 x 0.75 to 2.5 mm². Ensure 10 mm stripping for control wiring and 12 mm for main circuit wires. This setup supports quick installation and straightforward future expansion with auxiliary contact blocks.
For AC-1 duty at 690 V, Ie is 55 A (40 °C), 45 A (60 °C), and 37 A (70 °C). For AC-3 duty, Ie ranges from 22 A at 380–400 V up to 21.2 A at 415 V and 10.5 A at 690 V, with Pe up to 11 kW at 400–440–415 V. These ratings support motors up to about 11 kW in typical 400–690 V installations, informing starter sizing and short-time withstand considerations.
Yes. It offers IP20 protection for coil and main terminals and is rated to operate within ambient temperatures from -40 to +70 °C, with shock and vibration resistance per IEC standards. Built-in surge protection helps guard against transients, and the device complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, along with UL/CSA certifications for broader safety approvals in global installations.
The AF contactor carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 compliance, UL/CSA listings, and CE/UKCA declarations. This ensures acceptance in most European and North American facilities, simplifies regulatory approvals, and supports safe integration with other UL/CSA listed components in the control panel.
AF technology stabilizes the coil operation across wide voltage variations, reducing nuisance trips and downtime. With a compact, extendable design for auxiliary blocks, you can scale control logic without replacing hardware. Coupled with surge protection and efficient coil power loss (2.3 W AC-1 per pole, 0.42 W AC-3 per pole), this translates to lower energy costs, fewer maintenance cycles, and enhanced overall equipment effectiveness in continuous-operation environments.
