Acti 9 iCT contactors from Schneider Electric enable power switching in single-phase 3-phase loads. The TeSys GC series contactors are safe, easy to use, and simple to install. These devices, with their compact dimensions, are suitable for a wide range of applications.

Features and Benefits:

• Integrated auxiliary contacts for additional switching options
• Screw terminals: IP20 finger-safe terminals with North American and international terminal markings
• Panel mounting with screws or DIN rail mounting possible
• Pulse relay function
• Day/Night function
• Insulation Class 2: continuous safety for operators and third parties

What is the difference between AC-7a and AC-7b when selecting an iCT contactor? These utilization categories determine which loads the contactors can switch:

• AC-7a is intended for lightly inductive loads for household appliances such as mixers and blenders
• AC-7b is intended for motor loads for household appliances such as fans and central vacuum cleaners

Should spacers be installed between the iCT series contactors? When multiple contactors are mounted on a DIN rail, spacers should be used after every second contactor. The reason for this is that when several contactors are placed side by side, there can be a significant heat buildup, causing the devices to exceed their operating temperature. The coils themselves are designed to operate 100%, allowing them to be on 24 hours a day, and heat must be dissipated, hence a spacer is required.
