9. Precautions for Use
◆ The product coil is non-polarized. The main circuit with magnetic blowout is polarized (L1 is positive, L2 is negative); without magnetic blowout, it is non-polarized. The positive and negative terminals must not be reversed, as reversal can affect the load-breaking life.
◆ When using more than one connection wire at the power terminal, ensure the main power conductor is closest to the contactor's main circuit connection point, with smaller current wires on top, followed by the washer, spring washer, and nut. Incorrect connection order or loose connections can cause severe overheating and melt the cable insulation.

◆ The tightening torque for screws and bolts used with the contactor should be controlled within the specified ranges below (see table).
M3 Screw: 0.5~0.8 N.m | M3.5 Screw: 0.8~1.2 N.m | M4 Screw: 1.2~1.8 N.m |
M5 Screw: 2.0~3.0 N.m | M6 Bolt: 3.0~4.5 N.m | M8 Bolt: 6.0~9.0 N.m |
M10 Bolt: 10.0~15.0 N.m | M12 Bolt: 14.0~21.0 N.m |
|
◆ Main contact wire or busbar cross-sectional area (see table).
50 Amps: 10mm² | 100 Amps: 35mm² | 200 Amps: 95mm² |
300 Amps: 185mm² | 400 Amps: 240mm² | 500 Amps: 300mm² |
600 Amps: 400mm² | 800 Amps: 500mm² |
|
◆ Prohibit forcibly bending the wire or busbar after installing and tightening the screws, to prevent damage to the contactor and ensure its normal operation!
