FAQs
Plan for a three-pole mounting footprint with standard 186 mm net width and a height of 278 mm. Use Bars for the main circuit (47 mm²) and appropriate cables for the auxiliary circuit (0.75–2.5 mm² flexible). Torque every main connection to 35 N·m, and ensure coil terminals are IP20 while main terminals remain IP00. Operate within -25 to 70 °C depending on options, and confirm the device is mounted in a ventilated area to manage heat in high-load applications.
For AC-3 operation, the unit supports up to 400 A at 690 V and 460 A at various 415–440–500 V ranges. At 1000 V, it achieves around 200 A in AC-3. In AC-1 service, ratings extend to 700 A at lower voltages with standard conductor configurations. The product also provides a rated power of up to 250 kW at 415 V and exhibits a cosφ dependency of roughly 0.45 for high-current applications.
Yes. The AF block design permits straightforward extension with auxiliary contact blocks, enabling expansion from a basic control function to more complex signaling and interlocking schemes. The unit ships with 1 auxiliary NO and 1 auxiliary NC contact by default, providing versatile control logic for sequencing, feedback, and remote monitoring in automation panels.
The contactor complies with IEC 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 508, and CSA C22.2 N°14. It is RoHS-compliant and REACH-declared, with a CE declaration of conformity. This certification mix supports global deployment while aligning with regulatory, safety, and sustainability requirements for industrial control gear.
The AF technology enables energy-efficient operation with a wide coil voltage range, reducing panel energy consumption and improving performance in variable networks. Its modular can be extended with add-on blocks, saving space and facilitating future upgrades. Reliability and regulatory compliance help reduce downtime, spare parts, and warranty costs, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
