Frequently Asked Questions

What cable sizes can I connect to the HC63-4024 modular contactor?

The HC63-4024 accepts flexible cables up to 16mm², providing ample capacity for high-current 63A applications. This generous cable capacity ensures secure connections and reduces installation time in demanding electrical installations.

What are the physical dimensions for panel layout planning?

The contactor measures 85mm height × 54.6mm width × 65mm depth and weighs 0.36kg. These compact dimensions make it suitable for space-constrained control panel installations while maintaining the robust 63A switching capacity.

Can this contactor be used for motor control applications?

Yes, the HC63-4024 is specifically designed for motor control applications alongside lighting, heating, and air conditioning loads. Its 4-pole configuration and 63A rating make it ideal for controlling three-phase motors with neutral switching requirements.

What's the difference between this modular contactor and a standard contactor?

Modular contactors like the HC63-4024 are specifically designed for DIN rail mounting in distribution boards and offer significantly lower switching noise (<4dB) compared to standard contactors. They're optimised for building services applications rather than heavy industrial motor control.
