Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Rated operational current: 65A
• Control circuit voltage: 24V AC
• Mounting type: DIN rail or panel mount

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. The contactor is typically mounted onto a standard DIN rail or directly onto a backplate within an enclosure. Ensure that the power supply matches the 24V AC coil specification before connecting the control wires to the coil terminals. Power cables should be securely fastened to the main terminals, ensuring proper torque settings to prevent overheating or loose connections during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control circuit provides 24V AC voltage.
• Ensure the 65A current rating is sufficient for your specific load requirements.
• Check the available space in your control panel for mounting.
• Confirm compatibility with existing auxiliary contact blocks if needed.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the terminal connections periodically to ensure they remain tight and free from oxidation. Ensure the surrounding environment remains within the recommended temperature range to maintain the longevity of the internal coil and contact mechanisms.
