Product details

The WB1KB132 is a replacement coil for the TeSys range — the contactor coil that pulls in and holds the main power contacts. It runs on 110 V AC at 50...400 Hz, with a sealed operating time of 25 ms, so it snaps the contacts closed fast enough to avoid arcing on inductive loads. It's a low-consumption coil: hold-in power sits at 0.15...0.2 W for a 1-pole contactor, scaling up to 1.2...1.6 W for a 4-pole unit. That keeps the control transformer small and the panel cool.

The 110 V AC control voltage at 50...400 Hz covers both 50 Hz and 60 Hz mains — common across European and North American panels. The wide frequency tolerance means it works on a genset or VFD-fed control transformer without derating. Inrush power hits 1100...1400 W on a 4-pole contactor during pull-in, then drops to the hold-in level. That's a short spike — the control transformer just needs to handle it for 25 ms. The 5.8 Ω average resistance at 20 °C helps confirm the coil isn't shorted when you Megger the circuit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to the WB1KB132?

Schneider has not published an official successor. A pin-compatible replacement would need to match the 110 V AC 50...400 Hz coil voltage and the TeSys mounting footprint — verify against your existing contactor before ordering.

What is the WB1KB132's range?

It belongs to the TeSys range from Schneider Electric.

What is the WB1KB132's category?

It is listed under category 18402 — WORLD SERVICE PARTS (CONTROL ACCESS).
