Rated for AC-3 motor switching at 480 V up to 11 A, this contactor handles typical three-phase induction motors in the 5–7.5 hp range. The AC-1 resistive load rating is higher, but the AC-3 figure is the one that governs motor duty — that 11 A at 480 V is the number to match against your motor FLA. Operating temperature spans -25 to +60 °C, with storage from -55 to +80 °C, so it runs cold and stays cold even in unheated enclosures. Wire range accepts solid or stranded conductors from 1 to 10 mm², and the screw terminals accept two conductors per pole (0.5–1.5 mm² or 0.75–2.5 mm²) for daisy-chaining. Mechanical life is rated at 10 million operations typical, with electrical life at 1,000 operations per hour under AC-3 duty.
Mounts standing on a horizontal surface, with clearance requirements: 10 mm upwards, 10 mm downwards, 10 mm forwards, and 6 mm at the sides. The snap-on DIN rail fitting means no tools for rail mounting; screw fixing is also supported for vibration-prone environments.
