FAQs

What is the primary application for this installation contactor?

This contactor is typically used in industrial applications for remote switching of electrical loads, power distribution, and automation control where reliable relay operation is essential.

What is the rated control circuit voltage?

The rated control circuit voltage is 230V AC.

How many and what type of contacts does it have?

It is equipped with 2 normally open (N/O) and 2 normally closed (N/C) contacts.

What is the maximum switching current (AC1)?

The maximum switching current at AC1 is 40A.

Can this contactor be mounted on any DIN rail?

Yes, it is designed for standard 35mm top-hat rails, with a mounting width of 3 SU (52.5mm).

What is the operational measuring voltage?

The operational measuring voltage is 440V.

What is the actuation voltage range?

The actuation voltage ranges between 195.5V AC and 253V AC.

Troubleshooting

Contactor does not energize when control signal is applied.

Verify the control circuit voltage is within the 195.5 - 253V AC range and that the supply is stable. Check wiring connections to the coil terminals for proper fit and continuity.

Contactor fails to switch the load.

Confirm the load current does not exceed the 40A AC1 rating. Check the wiring of the load circuit to the main terminals and ensure they are securely connected. Inspect contacts for signs of welding or excessive wear.

Noisy operation or buzzing.

Ensure the control voltage is stable and within the specified range. Loose mounting or vibration can also cause noise; ensure the contactor is securely fixed to the rail.

Contacts appear welded or stuck.

This indicates a failure due to overload or short circuit. The contactor will likely need replacement. Investigate the cause of the overload or short circuit in the controlled equipment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction suitable for industrial environments.
  • Flexible contact configuration (2NO/2NC) for diverse wiring needs.
  • Easy integration into existing control panels via top-hat rail mounting.
  • Complies with multiple international safety and performance standards.
  • Efficient remote switching capability for automated systems.

Cons

  • Requires a specific control circuit voltage (230V AC).
  • May require professional installation due to its electrical nature.
  • Actuation voltage range needs careful consideration for power stability.
  • Limited to AC1 operational current of 40A; not suitable for higher loads without derating or parallel configurations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Mount the contactor onto a standard top-hat rail (35mm) within an electrical enclosure. Ensure the control circuit voltage matches the 230V AC requirement. Wire the load circuits to the power terminals and the control circuits to the coil terminals according to the N/O and N/C contact configurations. Always disconnect power before installation or wiring.

Compatibility: The contactor is designed for use with 230V AC control circuits. Ensure the power source for the control signal falls within the actuation voltage range of 195.5 - 253V AC. It is compatible with standard industrial electrical systems adhering to IEC, EN, and VDE standards.

Care: This is a maintenance-free component under normal operating conditions. Periodically inspect the terminals for tightness and check for any physical damage. Ensure the surrounding environment is free from excessive dust, moisture, or corrosive elements that could compromise performance.
