It carries a 45 kW rating at 500 V in AC-3 duty and 21.1 kW at 690 V in AC-3 — that is the motor-switching curve, so it handles induction motors up to those power levels without derating for the starting inrush. That saves panel width when grouping multiple contactors for a multi-motor section.
Solid conductors accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), and max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²). Stranded conductors take 2x (10 to 50 mm²) for the power wiring. The control circuit terminals handle 2x (2.5 to 16 mm²) solid or stranded. That range covers standard panel wire up to 50 mm² on the line side — no need for terminal adapters on a 45 kW feed.
Coil and switching performance
The coil is rated 24 V DC with a pick-up value of 0.8 x rated voltage and a drop-out of 1.1 x rated voltage. That means the contactor closes and opens fast enough for standard motor-starting sequences; the arcing window is short enough to keep contact erosion low across the mechanical life of 10 million operations typical.
Degree of pollution is 3 (conductive pollution, typical for industrial control panels). RoHS compliance date is 05/01/2012.
