The Schneider TeSys F CR1F630L7 is a 3-pole magnetic latching contactor rated for 630 A operational current at up to 1000 V AC. It's built for heavy motor and resistive load switching — the motor power ratings span 450 kW at 1000 V down to 200 kW at 220–230 V, with UL/CSA horsepower ratings up to 800 hp at 575–600 V. The magnetic latching mechanism holds the contacts without continuous coil power — the coil draws 2300 VA during the latching pulse, then drops to near-zero holding current. Unlatching also uses a 2300 VA pulse. This makes it suited for applications where sustained coil power is undesirable or where the contactor must stay closed through a control-voltage dropout.
The 630 A rating is in AC-3 duty (motor switching), which is the real-world number for sizing. AC-1 (resistive) and AC-4 (plugging/reversing) are also listed — AC-4 typically derates the current, so confirm your load category. The rated breaking capacity is 6300 A at 220–440 V, dropping to 3200 A at 1000 V — that's the maximum fault current it can interrupt without damage. Short-time withstand current (Icw) is 5.05 kA for up to 10 seconds at 40 °C, tapering to 1.6 kA at 10 minutes. This matters for coordination with upstream protection — the contactor must survive until the fuse or breaker clears the fault. The associated fuse rating is 630 A aM or gG up to 1000 V.
Mounts on a notched AM1-EC rail — that's a specific profile, not standard DIN. The dimensions are 309 mm wide, 304 mm high, and 255 mm deep. Terminal connections use busbars up to 60 x 5 mm, tightened to 58 N·m. IP20 on the front face only; the contactor is intended for enclosure mounting where the rear and sides are protected.
Compliant with IEC 60947-4, VDE 0660, NF C 63-110, BS 5424, and JEM 1038. Rated insulation voltage 1000 V per IEC 60947-4 and IEC 60158-1, with impulse withstand 8 kV. Operating temperature range -15 to 70 °C, storage -60 to 80 °C. Altitude rating 3000 m without derating.
