NCH8 Series
Modular AC Contactor

User Instruction

Standard:IEC/EN 61095
 Safety Warning

1 Only professional technicians are allowed for installation and

maintenance;

2 It is strictly prohibited to install in the environment containing

inflammable, explosive gas and moist condensation.

3 Power must be turned off when installing, maintaining and

maintaining the product.

4 Do not touch the conductive part of the product during

working.
1 Purpose of Use and Range of Application
NCH8 series modular AC contactor is mainly used in AC 50Hz (60Hz)
power systems with rated operating voltage up to 400V and rated operating
current up to 63A. The product is used as remote switch and control circuit
under AC-1/AC-7a application category (non-inductive or low inductive
load/resistance furnace,domestic appliance and low inductive load of similar
applications). The contactor can also be used for AC-7b application category
(household motor load), but it must be derated.
The contactor is not designed to break short circuit current, therefore it
should be used with a matching short circuit protector.

 4 Maintenance
Check the operation of the contactor every month. Method: The
contactor should incline 5° forward upon picking up and 5° backward upon
release; check if the contactor can operation smoothly.
Conduct inspection and maintenance every month. Note: The product
should not be assembled, disassembled or maintained at will. Please
replace the product if it is damaged.
