Rated for AC-2 and AC-4 duty: at 400 V it handles 5.5 kW in AC-2 (slip-ring motor starting) and 12.5 A in AC-4 (plugging/reversing). At 690 V it still delivers 7.5 kW, which covers most 400 V and 690 V motor circuits in European and export panels. The auxiliary contact block carries 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V — enough for control-circuit interlocking and status feedback.
Mounting and wiring checklist
Side-by-side mounting is permitted — no derating gap needed for the S0 frame in most configurations. Wire sizes: main contacts accept 2x (0.5–1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75–2.5 mm²), max 2x (0.75–4 mm²) solid/stranded, or AWG 2x (16–12), 2x (14–10), 1x 8. Auxiliary contacts take 2x (1–2.5 mm²), 2x (2.5–6 mm²), max 2x 10 mm², or AWG 2x (20–16), 2x (18–14), 1x 12. Strip length is standard for screw terminals — no special tooling needed.
Compliance: the part carries a substance prohibitance date of 01.07.2006, aligning with RoHS (EU Directive 2002/95/EC). Protection: IP20 on the front (finger-safe), IP00 at the terminals (no protection). The contactor is intended for installation inside an enclosure that provides the final IP rating.
Coordination and fusing
These values apply to the main circuit; the auxiliary circuit is protected by the control-circuit fuse. Storage temperature is wider (not listed here, but typically exceeds the operating range).
