2: Control coil voltage:

24V DC (common for PLC/control circuit compatibility).

*Note: Suffix "2" = DC coil; verify local voltage standards.*

Design & Key Features

Heavy-Duty Construction

Reinforced contacts & arc chutes for high-breaking capacity (IEC 60947-4-1).

Withstands inrush currents up to 12×Ie (e.g., 7,200A transient).

Integrated Mechanical Interlock

Built-in interlock slot (e.g., for FV2 kit) to prevent simultaneous closing in reversing applications.

DC Coil Advantages

Low power consumption, no hum noise, compatible with battery-backed systems.

Accessory-Ready

Supports:

Auxiliary contacts (LADN, LA series).

Pneumatic timers (PF/PFE).

Arc shields (FV-SHIELD).

Typical Applications

Heavy Industrial Motors:

600A = Controls ~300kW motors (400V AC).

Examples: Crushers, large compressors, shipyard cranes.

Frequent Switching: AC-4 duty (e.g., reversing/stalling motors).

DC Control Systems: Plants using 24V DC control voltage (e.g., process automation).
