The DPE50G7 is a 50 A, 3-pole IEC contactor from the Schneider Electric Easy TeSys DPE series, rated for motor control and resistive loads. It carries a 120 V AC 60 Hz coil and delivers 30 HP at 480 V AC three-phase, with UL/CSA HP ratings spanning 3 HP at 115 V single-phase up to 30 HP at 575/600 V three-phase. The utilisation categories AC-1 and AC-3 mean it handles both resistive heating loads and standard squirrel-cage motor starting — the AC-3 rating is the one that governs motor duty, so the 50 A frame is sized for the locked-rotor current of a 30 HP motor at 480 V.
Mounts on a rail plate (included), with screw terminals on both power and control circuits. Power terminals accept 2.5 to 25 mm² (flexible with or without cable end), control terminals 1 to 4 mm². Tightening torque for the main power circuit is 62 lbf·in (7 N·m) on the larger connector range, 44.3 lbf·in (5 N·m) on the smaller. The 4.8 in (122 mm) depth and 2.2 in (55 mm) width fit a standard enclosure footprint — leave clearance for the coil arc chamber and wiring bend radius.
