Motor load fit — 115 A AC-3 at 230 V coil
The J7KN115230 is a 3-pole contactor with a normally-open main contact set (3NO), rated for 115 A switching current in AC-3 duty (motor starting) and 55 kW switching power at 690 V AC. The 75 HP rating (typical at 460 V) provides a quick cross-check against the motor nameplate: a 75 HP motor at 460 V full-load current is approximately 96 A, leaving headroom below the 115 A AC-3 rating for inrush during starting.
DC switching and voltage envelope
Beyond motor duty, the contactor can switch DC loads up to 8 A at 220 V DC — useful for DC bus isolation or resistive loads in control panels.
Panel integration — mounting and termination
Screw terminals are standard for power wiring up to the 115 A rating; torque values per the datasheet ensure the connection withstands thermal cycling.
