Bistable means the coil only needs power to change state — it holds latched or unlatched without continuous coil current, which cuts heat and standby draw in the panel. The control circuit takes 127 V AC (50/60 Hz or 400 Hz) or 127 V DC. Latching pull-in consumes 1650 VA on 50/60 Hz, 1800 VA on DC; unlatching drops to 9.5 VA on 50/60 Hz and 13 VA on DC. That latching surge matters for sizing the control transformer — it's a short pulse, but it's a heavy one. Mechanical durability is rated for 1,000,000 cycles, and the maximum operating rate is 120 cycles per minute at 40 °C. Operating time is 40…80 ms latching, 50…100 ms unlatching — fast enough for most motor-starting and transfer-switch applications. The 700 A AC-1 free-air thermal current (Ith) is the resistive-load ceiling, relevant for heater banks or distribution. Don't confuse them: AC-3 is the motor rating, AC-1 is the resistive rating, and the contactor's dissipation per pole reflects the difference — 45 W per pole in AC-3, 88 W in AC-1. Rated breaking capacity is 5000 A at 220…440 V, 4500 A at 500 V, and 3560 A at 600…690 V — these are the fault-clearing numbers for the power circuit. The making capacity is also 5000 A. Associated fuse recommendations are 800 A gG or BS88, or 500 A aM, for the power circuit. That's your selectivity starting point. Ambient operating range is -15…70 °C, and altitude is 3000 m without derating. The TH protective treatment indicates a tropicalized coating for humidity and mild corrosive environments — not a washdown rating, but better than a bare contactor for damp panel conditions. ## Integration Notes Dimensions are 400 mm high, 288 mm wide, 232 mm deep — it's a large-frame contactor, so verify panel door clearance and DIN-rail or backplate mounting before committing the layout. The 3-pole configuration with 3 NO power poles is standard for three-phase motor switching. Operating position tolerance is ±5° from the vertical — mount it plumb. The control circuit insulation is rated 1000 V per IEC 60947-4 and BS 775, with 1500 V per VDE 0110 group C, so it's suitable for 690 V line-to-line systems with proper coordination.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric CR1F500G7 TeSys F Bistable Contactor, 500","metaDescription":"CR1F500G7 is an active-production TeSys F bistable contactor, 3-pole, rated 500 A AC-3 at 440 V, 700 A AC-1.
