Product details

That helps when you're squeezing it into a crowded panel. Dimensions are 70 mm high, 45 mm wide, 73 mm deep.

Termination & Wiring

Main contact terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², with a 2x (0.5 to 4 mm²) capacity for paralleling conductors. The coil connection uses spring-type terminals — no screwdriver needed for the magnet coil, which speeds up panel wiring. Keep those minimums for arc flash and heat dissipation, especially at higher switching frequencies.

Switching Performance & Ratings

Rated for AC-3 duty (motor switching) at 750 operating cycles per hour maximum, and AC-1 (resistive) at 1,000 cycles/h. AC-4 (plugging/reversing) drops to 250 cycles/h. Arcing time runs 10 to 15 ms at AC. Motor horsepower rating: 1 hp at 230 V. For DC switching, the ratings are 10 A at 24 V, dropping to 0.2 A at 440 V — that's typical for a contactor this size; don't expect it to handle heavy DC loads.

Environmental Limits

Frequently asked questions

What are the key dimensions for panel layout?

The contactor is 70 mm high, 45 mm wide, and 73 mm deep. Minimum clearance: 10 mm up/down/forward, 6 mm at the sides.

What wire sizes does the main contact accept?

Solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², with a 2x (0.5 to 4 mm²) capacity for paralleling two conductors per terminal.

What is the switching frequency for motor loads?

AC-3 (motor) duty: 750 operating cycles per hour maximum. AC-4 (plugging/reversing): 250 cycles/h. Mechanical life is typical 30 million operations.

Does this contactor include an auxiliary switch?

Yes, the -ZW97 variant includes an auxiliary switch as standard.
