AC-3 contactors are designed for the switching demands associated with squirrel-cage motors, including energising the motor during starting and disconnecting it during normal running conditions. The BF5000A12060 provides a 50 A AC-3 switching capacity for correctly selected industrial motor-control applications.
Its 120 V AC 60 Hz coil allows the contactor to be controlled remotely from compatible switches, relays, PLC interfaces and other control equipment. When combined with correctly selected overload and short-circuit protection, the BF5000A12060 can form part of a coordinated industrial motor-control solution.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase industrial motor control.
- Pumps and pumping equipment.
- Fans and ventilation systems.
- Compressors and refrigeration machinery.
- Conveyors and material-handling systems.
- Machine tools and production equipment.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation panels.
