The 48 V AC/DC coil latches and unlatches within 40–100 ms, holding position without continuous power draw. That bistable behaviour means the coil only consumes energy during switching — roughly 1650 VA on latch, dropping to under 13 VA on unlatch — which keeps the control transformer and wiring sized for a pulse, not a hold. For resistive heating or lighting (AC-1), the continuous current ceiling is 700 A, but thermal dissipation per pole runs 83–88 W depending on duty, so panel ventilation matters. Rated breaking capacity hits 2500 A at 1000 V and 5000 A at 220–440 V, which covers most fault-clearing scenarios downstream of a properly coordinated fuse (the recommended fuse sizes are 800 A gG or 500 A aM per pole). This is a panel-mount contactor with bolted connection terminals — no DIN-rail clip, so it bolts directly to a backplate or mounting bracket. Dimensions are 233 mm wide by 400 mm tall by 232 mm deep; plan the gland plate and cable bends accordingly. The TH protective treatment means it's coated for tropical/humid environments, which is standard for TeSys F but worth noting if the panel sits in an unconditioned space. Operating temperature range is -15 to 70 °C, and it derates above 3000 m altitude.","metaTitle":"Schneider CR1F500E7 TeSys F Bistable Contactor, 3P, AC-3 500","metaDescription":"Active CR1F500E7 bistable contactor from Schneider TeSys F series. 3P, AC-3 440V 500A, coil 48 V AC/DC.
