Rated for AC-4 duty at 15.5 A at 400 V, this contactor handles the high inrush of reversing or plugging motor applications where the contacts break under full load. For AC-2 at 400 V it carries 7.5 kW, covering slip-ring motor switching.
The screw terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) stranded, with a maximum of 2x 4 mm², matching typical control wiring practices.
For standard AC-3 motor starts, the 500 V rating of 10 kW and 690 V rating of 11 kW cover most European 3-phase motor sizes up to 11 kW. Type 2 coordination requires a 25 A gL/gG fuse upstream (type 1 allows 63 A). This matters for selectivity studies — if your panel demands Type 2 coordination to minimize downtime after a fault, the 25 A fuse limit is the binding constraint. The 2000 m maximum altitude limit is standard for low-voltage gear; derate above that.
At 85 mm height and 140 mm depth, the S0 frame fits shallow enclosures. The screw terminals for the main circuit accept AWG 16 to 8, with two conductors per terminal allowed — useful for daisy-chaining power feeds. The 2 instantaneous auxiliary contacts (standard configuration) can be wired for status feedback or interlocking without an add-on block.
