Rated for AC-3 duty at 10 kW on a 500 V supply and 11 kW at 690 V, this contactor handles the motor starting and running currents typical of pumps, fans, and compressors up to that power band. The DC magnet coil draws 5.4 W to close and holds at the same 5.4 W, which means the coil driver sees a steady load without a power drop-off after pickup — a detail that matters when sizing the 24 VDC supply for a panel with multiple contactors.
The IP20 front enclosure protects against finger contact; the terminals themselves are IP00, meaning the wiring compartment is open to the panel environment. Main circuit screw terminals accept solid or stranded wire: 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) or 2x (2.5 to 6 mm²), with a maximum of 2x 10 mm². For AWG, that translates to 2x (16 to 12) or 2x (14 to 10), with a single 8 AWG as the max. The auxiliary contact block (not included with this base unit) uses 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid.
For Type 2 coordination (contactor remains operational after a fault), use a gL/gG 25 A fuse. These values govern the upstream short-circuit protective device selection — a decision the panel builder must make before wiring.
