Definite Purpose AC Contactor 40A 3-Pole from Germany
A 3-pole electromechanical contactor rated for 40 amps at 24-480V AC coil voltage, designed for HVAC and refrigeration systems. It switches electrical circuits under load for motor control in low-voltage applications not exceeding 60V control voltage. Classified under 8536.41.00.45 as a contactor for voltages ≤1,000V and control ≤60V.

Import Tips
• Verify coil voltage rating ≤60V and ensure documentation specifies 'contactor' function for motor switching to avoid reclassification as general relays
• Include test certificates for AC-3 duty cycle and IEC 60947-4-1 compliance; common pitfall is missing auxiliary contact specifications
• Label with exact voltage/current ratings; U.S
• Customs may require proof it's not for ≥60V control circuits
