Import Tips
• Verify voltage rating ≤1,000V and confirm classification as contactor vs. simple relay via technical specs
• Include manufacturer datasheets showing AC-3 rating and coil voltage for CBP review
• Avoid misclassification as motor starters (8505) by ensuring no overload protection is integral
