Rated for AC-2 duty at 11 kW on a 400 V supply, this contactor handles wound-rotor motor applications where starting current stays moderate.
What the ratings mean in the panel
The S0 frame carries a mechanical life of 10 million operations, which is the contactor's structural endurance before wear-out — not the electrical life under load, which will be lower depending on the switching duty. For AC-4 reversing duty at full rated current, expect the electrical life to be a fraction of that figure; plan spares accordingly if the application cycles frequently under load. Short-circuit coordination is specified with two levels: Type 1 coordination allows the contactor to be damaged but safe to operate after clearing a fault, using a 100 A gL/gG fuse. Type 2 coordination, which keeps the contactor usable after a fault, requires a 35 A gL/gG fuse. If the panel spec demands Type 2 — typical for critical processes where downtime for contactor replacement is unacceptable — the upstream fuse must be limited to 35 A. If you are switching an inductive load like a small contactor coil at 230 V, stay under 6 A or add a snubber.
Wiring and integration notes
The 6 mm clearance to grounded metal on the side is the minimum for the arc chamber; respect that if mounting near a panel wall or another device's live parts.
