At AC-3 duty (motor switching) it is rated for up to 1000 operating cycles per hour, and at AC-4 (inching/jogging) the maximum drops to 300 cycles per hour — the mechanical life is 10 million typical operations, so it holds up in high-cycle applications.
Clearance and wiring — what fits in the panel
The main contact terminals accept 1 to 10 mm² solid or stranded, and the auxiliary wiring can take 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded. The arcing time sits between 10 and 10 ms, and the operating temperature range is -25 to +40 °C; storage range is -55 to +80 °C.
