The 3RT7027-1AB00: The AC-3 rating (motor switching) is specified up to 690 V, with a maximum electrical endurance of 800 operations per hour at AC-3 and 250 ops/h at AC-4 (inching/plugging duty). The 24 V coil draws 0.24 W holding power at both 50 and 60 Hz — a low enough draw that a standard 24 V control transformer can drive multiple contactors without sagging. Pollution degree 3 (conductive or dry non-conductive pollution) suits industrial environments where panels see dust and condensation. For coordination, Type 2 requires a 50 A gL/gG fuse; Type 1 allows up to 125 A — the difference is whether the contactor survives a fault or just clears it without welding.
Side-by-side mounting is allowed with no derating gap — useful when packing multiple contactors in a tight row.
