Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Rated operational current: 65A (AC3)
• Control coil voltage: 230V AC
• Application category: AC3

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical regulations. The contactor is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail or via screw mounting within an enclosure. Ensure that the power supply matches the 230V AC coil voltage before connecting the control circuit. Secure all terminal connections firmly to prevent overheating and ensure proper electrical contact. Once installed, the device operates automatically based on the signal received by the control coil.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the control voltage of your system matches the 230V AC coil requirement.
• Ensure the 65A current rating is sufficient for the connected load.
• Check the available space in your electrical cabinet for proper mounting.
• Confirm the compatibility of the contactor with your specific motor or power switching application.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect terminal connections for tightness and ensure the contactor is kept free from dust and moisture to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
