Contactor 230VAC 2NC 25A ESC226

230VAC 25A Contactor – reliable load switching

This contactor, catalog number ESC226, is a key element in electrical installations requiring reliable load switching. Designed to operate at 230VAC and 25A, it is perfect for controlling various types of receivers. The design with two normally closed contacts (2NC) ensures versatile application.

Characteristics and application

The ESC226 contactor is designed to operate in AC circuits, and its control voltage is also 230VAC. Application in AC-7a/b categories means it is suitable for controlling resistive and inductive loads, such as electric heaters, light bulbs, or small motors. The maximum switching capacity for incandescent bulbs is 1900W, and for fluorescent lamps – up to 950VA (or 1990VA with DUO compensation). Thanks to this, it can be used in a wide range of domestic and industrial applications.

Advantages and benefits

• High reliability: solid construction and precise workmanship guarantee long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Versatility: two normally closed contacts (2NC) increase connection flexibility and allow for the implementation of various control schemes.
• Safety: meets the required safety standards (IP2X), providing protection against accidental contact.
• Compact dimensions: embedding depth of 60 mm and width of 17.85 mm facilitate mounting in electrical panels with limited space.
• Suitable for various wires: accepts cross-sections of flexible wires from 1 to 6 mm² and rigid wires from 1 to 10 mm².
• Resistance to environmental conditions: operating temperature range from -10°C to +50°C allows operation in various conditions.
• Durable operation: mechanical endurance at 100,000 cycles and electrical endurance at 30,000 cycles guarantee a long device life.

Construction and mounting

The ESC226 contactor is a modular device designed for mounting on a TH35 rail. Its compact dimensions (height: 83 mm) allow for efficient use of space in the switchgear. The lack of manual operation eliminates the risk of accidental switching on or off of the circuit during maintenance work. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 250V, which provides adequate protection against electric shock.
