سابعا. Installation and Wiring Specifications
خطوات التثبيت:
- Confirm that the installation environment meets the range of -25℃~+55℃, free from severe vibration and corrosive gases.
- Select a 35mm standard DIN rail and ensure the mounting surface is flat.
- Align the contactor’s snap with the rail, press down and slide to fix (one-hand operation).
- Cut off all power supplies before wiring, and use a multimeter to confirm no voltage exists.
- توصيلات الدائرة الرئيسية: L1/L2/L3 → input terminals, T1/T2/T3 → output terminals.
- Control circuit wiring: A1/A2 → coil power supply, 13/14 → normally open auxiliary contacts, 21/22 → normally closed auxiliary contacts.
- After wiring is completed, gently pull the wires to confirm they are connected firmly without loosening.
Terminal Block Specifications:
الدائرة الرئيسية: M6 bolts, suitable for copper core wires with cross-sectional area of 1.5-16mm²
دائرة التحكم: M3.5 bolts, suitable for copper core wires with cross-sectional area of 0.5-2.5mm²

| Excessive noise after pull-in | Low coil voltage; Oil stain/rust on iron core end face; Broken short-circuit ring | Adjust control voltage to rated value; Clean iron core end face; Replace coil assembly |
| Contact overheating/ablation | Load overload; Poor contact of contacts; الأسلاك فضفاضة | Check load current; Polish contacts or replace them; Re-tighten terminal blocks |
| Auxiliary contact failure | Contact wear; Wiring error | Replace auxiliary contact module; Check wiring polarity |
- Safety and Maintenance Precautions
- عملية انقطاع التيار الكهربائي: Cut off all power supplies before installation and maintenance, and hang the “No Switching On” sign.
- التفتيش المنتظم: Conduct inspection every 6 شهور, including contact wear, terminal tightness and coil temperature.
- Contact Replacement: Replace the main contacts in time when the wear amount exceeds 1mm or the surface is severely ablated.
- المتطلبات البيئية: Avoid use in humid and dusty environments; install a protective housing if necessary.
- Compatible Accessories: Only use auxiliary contacts, interlock devices and other accessories original or certified by ABB to ensure safety performance.
