- Selezione & Note sull'utilizzo
- Motor control: Under AC-3 duty, verify contactor current ≥ 1.25 × motor rated current. For heavy-duty / frequent inching, select one size larger.
- Cablaggio: Use copper cables with adequate current rating; tighten terminals to avoid overheating. Observe coil terminals A1/A2 polarity; do not exceed rated voltage.
- Manutenzione: Regularly inspect arc chute and contacts for damage. Maintenance only when power is disconnected.
- Ordinare: Specify model, tensione della bobina, and auxiliary contact configuration. Default: 4 NO + 2 NC if not specified.
