FAQs
Install AHMC260L in an indoor control panel using the panel mounting method. Use the side wired box lug terminals to connect #14-4 AWG conductors, ensuring the connections are tight and torque-rated per manufacturer guidance. The unit uses a two-pole, single-phase design with a maintained contact for reliable on/off control. Verify clearance around the open enclosure for safe operation and perform a continuity check after wiring.
AHMC260L is rated for 60 A and 600 V, two-pole, single-phase operation, with a maintained contact configuration. This means it can directly switch typical industrial motors within these limits, enabling simple, compact control in panels. The ratings inform selection for motor current, voltage supply, and duty cycles typical of conveyors, grinders, or pump drives in manufacturing environments.
Yes. The AHMC260L complies with RoHS, NAFTA, and is cULus Listed, providing regulatory compliance across Europe, North America, and other regions. This reduces procurement risk in multi-site projects and supports supplier qualification, audits, and maintenance planning while ensuring safer, environmentally responsible operation.
Absolutely. The AHMC260L uses side wired box lug termination designed for #14-4 AWG conductors, which simplifies wiring and reduces installation time. This configuration is well-suited for typical industrial panels, enabling neat, consistent terminations and easier future inspections or replacements without specialized tooling.
The AHMC260L offers reliable, low-maintenance motor switching, thanks to maintained contacts and robust materials (glass-filled nylon housing, copper-alloy terminals). Benefits include fewer nuisance trips, reduced downtime, and easier field servicing, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and faster ROI in equipment-intensive facilities with frequent motor control operations.
