Table 33-16. Coil Data Notes All data is based on a standard contac-
tor with no auxiliary devices and a
120V AC or 24V DC magnet coil. Coil
data has a ±5% range depending on
the application, therefore specific data
may vary.
Table 33-17. Specifications — Sizes 00 – 3
P.U. Pick-up time is the average time taken
from closing of the coil circuit to main
contact touch.
D.O. Drop-out time is the average time taken
from opening of the coil circuit to main
contact separation.
Cold Coil data with a cold coil.
Hot Coil data with a hot coil.
