Its AC-12 rating of 10 A covers control-circuit and resistive loads; the AC-3 motor ratings are 4.5 kW at 500 V and 5.5 kW at 690 V, so it handles standard 4-pole induction motors in that power band. For reversing or plugging duty (AC-4), the contactor is rated 8.5 A at 400 V — a figure that governs the real thermal stress in high-cycle applications, not the higher AC-3 number.
Side-by-side mounting is allowed, with a 6 mm air gap at the side for heat dissipation.
Terminal data and wiring
Solid conductors: 2x (0.5–1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75–2.5 mm²), max 2x (0.75–4 mm²). Stranded: 2x (1–2.5 mm²), 2x (2.5–6 mm²), max 2x 10 mm². AWG equivalents for main contacts: 2x (16–12), 2x (14–10), 1x 8.
Coil and switching data
Switching capacity across the coil's voltage range: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V. The rated value for the coil is 220 V.
