Description
Schneider Electric MOD.CONT. 40A contactor used for switching electrical circuits, designed for applications needing reliable control of loads. Handles 40 amps load current, operates at 230V AC with a frequency of 50Hz. Critical for automation and motor control systems where high-current handling is required.
Compact design, modular construction for easy integration into panels or cabinets. Dimensions not confirmed here but standard Schneider footprint should apply—verify panel space before deployment. Double-pole (2B) configuration allows concurrent switching of two lines.
Non-latching type; only remains engaged while signal applied to coil terminals. Coil voltage rated specifically for 230V AC operation; input lower or fluctuant will reduce reliability/pass fail rates during actual use cycles in field conditions.
