Rated 4 kW in AC-2 duty at 400 V, this contactor handles slip-ring motor starting and reversing. For AC-4 plugging and inching, it carries 8.5 A — the rating that governs real-world reversing or jogging cycles. Front face is IP20; terminals are IP00 — panel builders should maintain at least 10 mm clearance to grounded metal around the screw terminals.
Coordination and wiring
Type 1 coordination requires a 63 A gL/gG fuse upstream; Type 2 coordination needs 25 A. The main circuit screw terminals accept 2x (1–2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, up to 2x 10 mm² max — enough for the 4 kW motor circuit without a separate terminal block. Auxiliary and control circuit terminals use screw-type connections accepting 2x (0.5–1.5 mm²) solid, up to 2x 4 mm² max. The 24 VAC coil draws about 10 A inrush at rated voltage, settling to holding current — factor this into control transformer sizing.
Switching capacity and environment
Rated operational current for AC loads: 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 0.3 A at 220 V DC.
