This coil operates on an AC control circuit at 40...400 Hz, pulling in the contactor armature within 100 ms at rated voltage. The 1650 W power rating reflects the coil's inrush capability, while the 22 W steady-state consumption indicates the holding power after the contactor seals. With a resistance of 155 ohms and an inductance of 19.5 mH, the coil draws a predictable current that must be accounted for in the control transformer sizing. The absence of a built-in suppressor means an external RC snubber or varistor is required across the coil terminals to suppress switching transients, particularly when the contactor is controlled by a PLC output or a solid-state relay.
Applications
TeSys F contactor coils like the LX1FL600 are used in industrial motor control and power switching applications, typically within motor control centers (MCCs), pump panels, and conveyor systems.
