Power contactor 230V AC control KCP-12-230 KANLUX IDEAL TS 24102

AC Power Contactors – Reliability and Safety

The KCP-12-230 power contactor is a component used for frequent switching of alternating current circuits, especially in applications requiring high reliability. Designed to operate in class AC-3, it finds application in controlling electric motors and other inductive loads. Mounting on a TH35 rail simplifies installation and integration with existing electrical infrastructure.

Construction and parameters – what you should know

The contactor's construction is based on three main poles and one normally open (NO) auxiliary contact, providing flexibility in control circuit configuration. The coil voltage of 230V AC makes it compatible with commonly used electrical installations. Made in a white housing, it is characterized by a degree of protection of IP20, which provides basic protection against contact.

The rated switching current Ie is 12A, and the operating current at 380V (AC-3) is also 12A. The rated operating power at 230-240V is 3kW, and at 380-400V – 5.5kW. This makes this contactor suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is worth noting the high frequency of electrical switching AC-3 (1200/h) and mechanical (3600/h), which guarantees a long service life even with intensive use.

• Versatility: Designed to operate in class AC-3, ideal for controlling motors and other inductive loads.
• Easy installation: Mounting on a standard TH35 rail ensures quick and easy installation.
• High durability: Rated insulation voltage Ui 690V and impulse withstand voltage Uimp 6000V ensure safe operation in harsh conditions.
• Long service life: Switching frequency and electrical life (AC-3: 1000 x 10^3 cycles) guarantee reliable operation for a long time.
• Safety: Compliance with PN-EN 60947-4-1 standard confirms compliance with stringent safety standards.

Additional information
