Product Description
Non-reversing
Contactors are most commonly used
to switch motor loads in applications
where running overcurrent protection
is either not required or is provided
separately. Contactors consist of a
magnetically actuated switch which
can be remotely operated by a push-
button station or pilot device such as
a proximity switch, limit switch, float
switch, auxiliary contacts, etc.
Reversing
Reversing contactors are used prima-
rily for reversing single- or three-phase
motors in applications where running
overcurrent protection is either not
required or is provided separately.
They consist of two contactors
mechanically and electrically inter-
locked to prevent line shorts and
energization of both contactors
simultaneously.
Features
■ Designed specifically for use in
applications requiring NEMA rat-
ings. Contactors meet or exceed
NEMA standards ICS 2-1993.
■ Long life twin break, silver cadmium
oxide contacts — provide excellent
conductivity and superior resistance
to welding and arc erosion.
■ Designed to 3,000,000 electrical
operations at maximum hp ratings
up through 25 hp at 600V.
■ Steel mounting plate standard on all
open type contactors.
Non-reversing
■ Holding circuit contact(s) supplied
as standard:
❑ Sizes 00 – 3 have NO auxiliary
contact block mounted on right
hand side (on Size 00, contact
occupies 4th power pole position
— no increase in width).
❑ Sizes 4 – 5 have a NO contact
block mounted on left side.
❑ Sizes 6 – 7 have a 2NO/2NC
contact block on top left.
❑ Size 8 has a NO/NC contact block
on top left back and a NO contact
block on top right back.
Reversing
■ One NO-NC side mounted interlock
supplied as standard on each con-
tactor for Sizes 00 – 8.
