It belongs to the TeSys range, Schneider's standard modular contactor family for motor starting and resistive load switching. Rated for utilisation categories AC-3 (squirrel-cage motor starting) and AC-1 (resistive loads, heating, lighting), this contactor handles the inrush and breaking demands of motor duty while also covering non-inductive switching.
The 200 A AC rated operational current under AC-1 means it can continuously carry and break resistive loads up to that level. Under AC-3 motor duty, the same 200 A frame supports direct-on-line starting of three-phase induction motors, where the make current can be 6–8× the rated current. The 2-pole configuration with 2 NO main poles suits single-phase motor switching, two-wire resistive loads, or phase-switching applications where a 3-pole contactor is unnecessary. The built-in auxiliary contact block (1 NO + 1 NC) provides feedback for the control circuit without requiring a separate add-on. Control voltage is 220 V AC at 50 Hz, so the coil is designed for direct connection to a standard European line-voltage control circuit. Verify your control transformer output matches this voltage before wiring.
This contactor class is installed in motor control centres, panel boards, and standalone enclosures for switching pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and heating banks. The TeSys B series is the standard-duty line within the TeSys family, positioned for general-purpose industrial applications where compact footprint and reliable AC coil operation are required.
