(1) Size 6 and 7 have a d.c. coil. The values shown are for the a.c. input to the d.c. power supply that provides power to the coil.
(2) The closing time "C" is measured from the moment that the coil supply is switched on to the initial contact of the main poles. The opening time "O" is measured
from the moment that the coil supply is switched off to the moment that the main poles separate.
(3) Operating cycles are without a load (mechanical life).
