Product details

Rated for the motor line

The CV1BJ3J0ZM522J is a 3-pole contactor from the TeSys B range, rated 470 A in AC-3 duty at 690 V AC. That AC-3 rating governs switching of squirrel-cage motors — starting, stopping, and inching under load. The 470 A figure is the current the main poles can make and break across the motor starting profile, not a resistive heating limit. For resistive circuits, heating, and lighting, the same contactor carries an AC-1 utilisation category, which typically permits a higher continuous current. Control circuit is 220 V AC at 50 Hz, specified as the coil voltage. The contactor pulls in on that AC control supply; the built-in auxiliary contacts include one C/O on-delay timer contact plus two instantaneous NO and two NC contacts. That on-delay gives you a programmable interval before the auxiliary switches — useful for star-delta transition or staggered load sequencing without an external timer relay.

The TeSys B frame is a DIN-rail-mounted contactor family. At 470 A AC-3, the physical package is substantial — expect the panel builder to allocate adequate side clearance for arc-chamber ventilation and power-wiring bend radius. The 3-pole configuration with 3 NO main poles covers three-phase motor circuits. Auxiliary contact wiring (2 NO + 2 NC instantaneous, plus the timed C/O) should be terminated with ferruled stranded conductors matching the terminal strip pitch.

Frequently asked questions

What is the utilisation category and what does it mean for my motor load?

The contactor is rated for AC-1 (resistive) and AC-3 (motor) duty. The AC-3 rating of 470 A at 690 V AC is the figure that governs motor switching — starting, stopping, and plugging of squirrel-cage motors. For resistive loads such as heating elements, the AC-1 rating typically allows a higher continuous current. The contactor application covers motor circuits as well as resistive circuits, heating, and lighting.

What auxiliary contacts are included?

The contactor ships with one C/O on-delay contact, plus two instantaneous NO and two NC auxiliary contacts. The on-delay contact provides a programmable timing function without a separate timer relay, suitable for star-delta or sequential load applications.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

As a current-production Schneider Electric TeSys contactor, the CV1BJ3J0ZM522J carries the manufacturer's declaration of conformity to applicable EU directives (CE), and is RoHS and REACH compliant. The specific certification markings (UL, CSA, CCC) are listed on the product nameplate and in the official datasheet. Full compliance documentation is available from the manufacturer upon request.
