DC coil performance and control circuit demands
The 3RT2045-1XB40-0LA2: The coil is DC 24 V with a 6.5 A inrush peak — the control supply must handle that surge without droop.
Motor load ratings by voltage
In AC-3 duty (squirrel-cage motor switching), the contactor is rated 77 A at 480 V and 62 A at 600 V — enough for a 15 hp motor at 230 V per the listed horsepower figure. These are the operating currents that determine whether the contactor coordinates with upstream overload relays and fuses for Type 2 coordination.
