Eaton xStart Contactor, 230 V ac Coil, 3-Pole, 25 A, 11 kW, 3NO, 400 V ac

X Start is the latest generation of Contactors, Overloads and Relays from Moeller, based on the tried and tested DIL series. This generation of modular components benefits from the advances in technology for motor switching and control, which in turn gives the user a number of additional benefits.

All the contactors are modular and have a common design
The range is extremely durable, able to handle all demands and features immunity to interference and control circuit reliability-even when used in conjunction with PLCs
Electronic power adjustment of the magnet system on the DC contactors enables very small frame sizes so that AC and DC units now have identical dimensions. This now allows direct arrangement of AC and DC contactors beside each other

Three normally-open main contacts
DC contactors from 12A have an electronic drive that removes the need for coupling relays and all DC contactors up to 150A have a in-built suppressor circuit
Box terminals with double coupling areas gives a guaranteed integrity of connection while wiring different cross-sections and also reduces cabling faults

This range of contactors can be used across a multitude of applications, users will commonly find these contactors being used within industrial settings such as factory automation, railway transportation, electrical systems, electric motor, lighting, and mechanical engineering.

Contactors, unlike relays, are specifically designed to connect to high current load devices. Used in larger-scale applications, a contactor is a switch that can be controlled remotely, specifically designed to switch a large amount of electrical power through its contacts. If a device has the ability to switch more than 15 amperes it is called a contactor. These devices also feature high coil voltages which is rare within relays.

This Eaton xStart 3-pole contactor makes and breaks your electrical circuit. It's commonly used in industrial electrical systems, motors and machines. Arcing in a high-current-load device can cause excessive mechanical wear, short circuits and sometimes fire or shock hazards. This contactor detects arcs and heat buildups in currents of up to 25A (amperes) and switches the three normally open (NO) contacts to closed, breaking the circuit and suppressing the arc.

• Screw-mount to a DIN rail for a vibration-proof fit
• Compatible with SmartWire-DT communication for processing system-wide data transfers
• Mechanical lifespan of 10 million operations for lasting use
• Operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C for use in demanding industrial environments

This contactor has a maximum current heat loss of 10.8W (watts). This measurement indicates the circuit isn't losing excess power through the contactor.

This compact 3-pole contactor has a length of 85mm, a depth of 138mm and a width of 45mm.
