The Schneider CR1F2654U7 is a TeSys F magnetic latching contactor — a 4-pole, DC-operated device that holds its state without continuous coil power. Rated for motor control and resistive loads across AC-1, AC-3, and AC-4 utilisation categories, it switches up to 265 A at 440 V AC (AC-3 duty) and handles motor power up to 160 kW at 690 V AC. The latching coil draws 1800 VA on closure and 12 VA holding, meaning the control circuit only needs a pulse to change state, not a sustained signal. The 240 V AC 50/60 Hz control circuit has a latching and unlatching voltage range of 0.85 to 1.1 Uc. Power connections accept lugs, ring terminals, or bars up to 240 mm².
For resistive loads (AC-1), the thermal current Ith is 350 A at 50 Hz, with average impedance of 0.32 mOhm per pole. Power dissipation runs 22 W per pole in AC-3 and 39 W in AC-1, so panel ventilation or spacing matters when grouping multiple contactors. Rated breaking capacity is 2450 A at 440 V for the power circuit, dropping to 800 A at 1000 V. Rated insulation voltage is 1000 V per IEC 60947-4 and BS 775, with a VDE 0110 group C rating of 1500 V. For UL/CSA installations, motor power ratings are 175 hp at 575-600 V AC and 150 hp at 460-480 V AC for three-phase motors. Associated fuse protection calls for 315 A aM or 400 A gG fuses at ≤ 440 V for the power circuit.
The CR1F2654U7 complies with BS 5424, NF C 63-110, IEC 60947-4, VDE 0660, and JEM 1038.
The contactor measures 8.4 in (213 mm) deep, 9.6 in (244.5 mm) wide, and 8.0 in (203 mm) tall. Terminal tightening torque is 309.8 lbf·in (35 N·m). Mounting options include panel mount or notched AM1-EC rail — the rail option simplifies enclosure layout changes without drilling.
