Contactor Identification

Each contactor is identified with a rating label (

Figure 4

) attached to the 

armature plate at the front of the contactor. The rating label information 
includes the Catalog Number (Cat.) Series Letter (Ser.) Voltage Rating, Non-
Enclosed Current Rating, Interrupting Capacity, Altitude Range (in meters), 
CSA, UL, and CE markings.

Figure 4 - Contactor Rating Label (450 A)

WARNING: 

The Rockwell Automation® relay control panel (1503C-XXX or 

1503E-CXXX) is required for reliable operation of the contactor within 
its published specifications. The relays break the DC current that is 
drawn by the closing coil, holding coil, and trip coil. The relays make 
sure the pick-up and drop out voltages are coordinated with the pick-
up and drop out voltages of the contactor. This provides reliable 
operation of the circuit in undervoltage conditions. The use of 
alternative control relays is not supported or recommended. Alternative 
relays do not provide the necessary control timings necessary to 
provide reliable operation and coordination with all power fuses used in 
combination with the contactors.
