It is rated for 18.5 kW at 500 V under AC-3 duty, which is the standard category for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors during running — the rating that governs real motor-switching fit, not the higher AC-1 resistive current.
Side-by-side mounting is supported, so multiple contactors pack tightly in a row without derating when ambient stays within the -25 to +60 °C operating range.
Termination and wiring
Main circuit terminals are screw-type, accepting 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²) solid, 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²) solid, or up to 2x (0.75...4 mm²) solid max. The terminal body is IP00; the front face is IP20 for basic finger-safe touch protection in the enclosure.
