Product Information

Full details

This Eaton Installation Contactor (DILM series) is designed for electrical professionals and system integrators needing reliable switching for AC circuits up to 63A. Its key benefit is its modular design for easy integration and adherence to multiple international standards. A potential caveat is its specific 230V AC control voltage requirement, demanding precise power supply. This contactor offers a robust solution for controlling motor loads and general power distribution in industrial and building automation applications.

FAQs

What is the rated control circuit voltage?

The rated control circuit voltage for this Eaton installation contactor is 230V AC.

What is the maximum business voltage it can handle?

The contactor is rated for a business voltage of up to 440V AC.

How many make (NO) contacts does it have?

This model features 2 normally open (NO) contacts.

What type of mounting does it support?

It is designed for top-hat rail (DIN rail) mounting and occupies 3 SU (52.5mm) width.

What does the IP40 rating mean?

The IP40 rating indicates protection against solid objects greater than 1mm and no specific protection against water.

Can this contactor be used for DC circuits?

No, this contactor is specifically designed for AC operation.

What standards does this contactor comply with?

It is designed according to various IEC, EN, and VDE standards.

Troubleshooting

Contactor does not engage when control voltage is applied

Verify that the control voltage is exactly 230V AC and is correctly connected to the coil terminals. Check for any obstructions preventing the armature movement.

Contacts are welded or not making connection

Inspect the contacts for signs of damage or excessive wear. If welded, the contactor may need replacement. Ensure the load current does not exceed the 63A rating.

Overheating of the contactor

Ensure adequate ventilation around the contactor. Verify that the load current is within the specified 63A rating and that the ambient temperature is within operating limits.

Loose terminal connections

Turn off power to the unit. Retighten all screw terminals to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification.

  • Limited to AC operation only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the control circuit voltage precisely matches the 230V AC rating.
  2. Mount the contactor securely onto a standard 35mm top-hat (DIN) rail.
  3. Connect the power and control wiring to the screw terminals, ensuring proper torque.
  4. Utilize the 2 normally open (NO) contacts according to your circuit design requirements.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with electrical systems requiring a 230V AC control voltage.
  • Suitable for AC circuits with a business voltage up to 440V AC.
  • Designed for integration into standard electrical enclosures with DIN rail mounting.

Care:

  • Keep the contactor clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Periodically inspect wiring connections for tightness.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.
  • Avoid exposing the contactor to moisture or corrosive environments due to its IP40 rating.
