Rated for AC-2 duty at 15 kW at 400 V, this contactor handles slip-ring motor starting and reversing. For inching and plugging duty (AC-4), it carries 29 A at 400 V, which is the rating that governs real-world life in demanding applications — not the higher AC-3 number. The main power circuit uses screw-type terminals, accepting 2x (0.75... 25 mm²) stranded or 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid conductors. The minimum permissible cross-section at 40 °C is 16 mm², which is the wire size needed to carry the rated current without derating. Coil pickup currents are specified across the voltage range: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V. The coil operates reliably between 0.8 and 1.1 times the rated voltage at 50 Hz.
Switching frequencies are rated per duty class: 1,200 operations per hour for AC-1 resistive loads, 750 for AC-2, 1,000 for AC-3, and 250 for AC-4.
RoHS compliance is documented with a substance prohibition date of May 1, 2012, indicating the part meets the EU RoHS directive for hazardous substance restrictions. REACH and other regulatory documentation is available from the manufacturer.
