Power contactor 24V AC control KCP-12-24 KANLUX IDEAL TS 24103

Power contactor for industrial and domestic applications

This three-pole power contactor KCP-12-24 from KANLUX IDEAL TS is a reliable element used for switching alternating current circuits. Designed to operate in class AC-3, it is ideal for applications requiring frequent switching of the load, such as controlling electric motors. Coil voltage of 24V AC ensures compatibility with a wide range of control systems.

Construction and mounting

The contactor is designed for mounting on a standard TH35 rail, which facilitates its installation in electrical switchboards. Made of high-quality materials, it provides durability and reliability even in harsh working conditions. Screw terminals guarantee a secure and safe connection of wires. Compact dimensions allow for efficient use of space in control cabinets.

Parameters and application

The KCP-12-24 contactor is characterized by a rated current of 12A with AC-3 load at 380V voltage, as well as the possibility of operation at 660V (8.9A). The rated operating power at 400V is 5.5kW, making it suitable for controlling various electrical devices. It has one normally open (NO) auxiliary contact, which can be used to signal the contactor status or to implement additional control functions. Thanks to the high switching frequency (1200 operations/hour for AC-3 and 300 operations/hour for AC-4) it is ideal for applications requiring intensive operation. The protection degree IP20 provides protection against accidental contact, but does not protect against the influence of water or dust - therefore the contactor should be mounted in a protective housing.

This contactor features a rated current of 12A (AC-3, 380V) with the possibility of operation at 660V (8.9A). The rated operating power is 5.5kW at 400V, allowing control of various electrical devices. It has a single NO auxiliary contact, which finds application in signaling the contactor status or implementing additional control functions. The high switching frequency – 1200 operations/hour for AC-3 and 300 operations/hour for AC-4 – predestines it for intensive operation. The IP20 protection degree protects against touch, but requires mounting in a housing protecting against the influence of moisture and dust. Additionally, it has a rated insulation voltage Ui of 690V and a rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp of 6000V, and its rated frequency is 50Hz. Electrical life (AC-3) is 1000 x 10³ cycles, and mechanical life is 10 x 10⁶ cycles.
