Eaton xStart Contactor, 400 V ac Coil, 3-Pole, 40 A, 18.5 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.

Positively driven contacts within the auxiliary contact module
Mirror contact with auxiliary contact module
Combination of side-mounted and front auxiliary contact modules up to six auxiliary contacts possible
