- Selection Recommendations
5.1 Key Selection Points
| Selection Factor | Recommended Considerations |

| Coil Voltage | Select according to control circuit power supply (220V/380V commonly used, 24V/36V/110V optional for special occasions) |
| Auxiliary Contacts | 1NO+1NC meets basic control needs; auxiliary contact modules can be added for more contacts |
| Operating Frequency | For frequent operation (>600 times/hour), derating is recommended or special high-frequency contactors should be selected |
| Environmental Conditions | For high-temperature, humid and dusty environments, derating or protection class upgrade should be considered |

- Troubleshooting Guide
6.1 Common Faults and Solutions
| Fault Phenomenon | Possible Causes | Troubleshooting Steps |
| Contactor fails to pull in | 1. Coil not powered; 2. Low coil voltage; 3. Burned coil; 4. Mechanical jamming | 1. Check control circuit power supply and wiring; 2. Measure coil voltage (should be ≥85% of rated value); 3. Measure coil resistance with multimeter (normal value approx. several hundred ohms); 4. Check if iron core is jammed and remove foreign objects |
| Loud noise after pull-in | 1. Oil/dust on iron core end face; 2. Broken shading coil; 3. Low coil voltage | 1. Clean iron core end face; 2. Check shading coil (replace iron core if broken); 3. Adjust coil voltage to rated range |
| Contact overheating/ablation | 1. Overload operation; 2. Poor contact connection; 3. Arc suppression failure | 1. Check load current and replace with contactor of larger capacity; 2. Clean contacts and replace if severely ablated; 3. Check arc chute and ensure it is intact |
| Poor auxiliary contact connection | 1. Contact oxidation; 2. Spring fatigue; 3. Loose wiring | 1. Clean contacts; 2. Replace auxiliary contact module; 3. Tighten wiring terminals |
| Coil burnout | 1. Excessively high voltage; 2. Frequent starting; 3. High ambient temperature | 1. Check power supply voltage and install overvoltage protection; 2. Reduce starting frequency or select high-frequency contactor; 3. Improve ventilation and lower ambient temperature |
6.2 Contactor Status Judgment
| Inspection Item | Normal Status | Abnormality Judgment |
| Coil Resistance | Approx. 300~800Ω (depending on coil voltage) | Resistance of 0 (short circuit) or infinity (open circuit) is abnormal |
| Main Contact Voltage Drop | ≤50mV when closed | Excessively high voltage drop indicates poor contact connection |
| Iron Core Pull-in | No obvious noise and slight vibration | Loud noise and obvious vibration are abnormal |
| Arc Chute | Intact without carbonization marks | Severe damage or carbonization requires replacement |
VII. Installation and Maintenance Precautions
- Pre-installation Preparation:
Confirm that the model matches the load (current, voltage, auxiliary contacts)
Check for no external damage and complete accessories (arc chute, mounting bracket)
Select appropriate installation location (well-ventilated, away from heat sources and vibration sources)
- Installation Specifications:
Install after power cut, live operation is strictly prohibited
Standard DIN rail mounting (35mm), fix firmly
Main circuit wiring: wire cross-section 16~35mm², double-hole wiring to ensure firm connection
Control circuit wiring: wire cross-section 0.75~1.5mm², avoid laying in the same slot as main circuit
Installation direction: vertical installation (iron core upward), tilt ≤5°
- Maintenance Key Points:
Regular inspection (recommended once a month):
Contact status (presence of ablation and oxidation)
Coil temperature (should not exceed ambient temperature +40°C)
Wiring terminals (presence of loosening and overheating)
Arc chute (presence of damage and carbonization)
Cleaning: Remove dust with dry brush, solvent use is prohibited
Lubrication: Oil application is prohibited on iron core end face, keep clean and dry
Replacement Cycle:
Mechanical life: approx. 10 million operations, replacement is recommended after reaching the limit
Electrical life: approx. 1 million operations (AC-3), replacement cycle should be shortened for frequent starting
