FAQs
Mount the unit on a TH35 DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5). Use screw terminals to connect main circuit conductors (1/2 x 22-10 AWG for UL/CSA or 1/2 x 1 to 4 mm² for flexible or rigid conductors). Tighten control and main circuit terminals to 0.8–1.1 N·m. The device is designed for screw terminal wiring and supports straightforward field installation in panel cabinets.
The coil operates at 60 V DC, while the main circuit is rated up to 690 V AC with DC options to 220 V. It supports 50/60 Hz control circuits and 4-pole operation with four NO contacts and no NC contacts, suitable for a range of motor control scenarios.
Yes. At 400 V and 500 V (AC-3), the rated operational power is 4 kW, while at 230 V it is 2.2 kW. At 690 V NO operation, it can handle up to about 3 kW for AC-3. Always verify the specific motor running current and apply the correct IEC ratings for your application.
The device carries CE and UL/CSA certifications, along with CB, CCC, cULus, and related declarations. These certifications support global compliance for electrical panels, panel builders, and cross-border installations.
With a mechanical durability rating of 10 million cycles and quiet coil operation, maintenance is minimal and downtime is reduced. The combination of compact DIN rail mounting, screw terminals, and wide voltage compatibility lowers panel size, wiring effort, and lifecycle costs in automation and motor control projects.
