It mounts directly onto a contactor (contactor mounting per the spec), which saves a DIN-rail slot and keeps the power wiring short between the contactor output and the relay's bimetal strips. The auxiliary contact block is integrated, rated for switching at 24 V 2 A, 230 V 2 A, and 400 V 1 A — so it can drive a PLC input or a downstream contactor coil directly without an interposing relay, as long as you stay within the 690 V rated insulation voltage.
Motor power and current ratings
At 400 V, the relay is rated for 1.5 kW motor power; at 500 V, 2.2 kW; at 690 V, 3 kW. The AC-3e rated voltage goes up to 690 V, matching the insulation voltage.
Main circuit connection uses ring cable lugs with M3 screws; the screwdriver spec calls for a Pozidriv PZ2 tip, 5–6 mm shaft diameter — keep that bit in the panel kit to avoid stripped heads.
Substance prohibitance date is 10/01/2009, which aligns with RoHS compliance deadlines; the relay is designed for global markets where RoHS and REACH documentation is expected.
