contactor is an electromagnetically operated remote switch for large electrical outputs. A larger current can be switched using a lower current. They ensure galvanic isolation between the control circuit and the switched circuit. Installation contactors of the HS series for distribution board installation have extremely low hum and are characterized by very quiet switching processes, by a versatile use due to their usage categories and by their long mechanical and electrical service life. The magnetic coil in this series is suitable for continuous operation (100% ED). Devices in this version are operated with a control voltage of 24 V AC. Properties: - wide range of different contacts - long electrical and mechanical service life - extremely low hum - suitable auxiliary switch and sealing cap available Mounting type: - quick attachment to mounting rail - installation position as desired Areas of application: Installation contactors have a wide range of uses in residential and commercial buildings as well as industrial plants. They switch incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, transformers for low-voltage halogen lamps, high-pressure mercury vapor lamps (HQL, HPL), metal halide lamps (HQI, HPI), sodium vapor, low and high-pressure lamps, storage heaters or drives (motors). Notes: - The designation of the devices in this series includes both the rated current (first pair of numbers) and the contact design (last pair of numbers): an HS 25-31, for example, has a rated current of 25 A, three normally open contacts and one normally closed contact. - At ambient temperatures of 40 C and above, the use of the spacer RD 05 is recommended.
