This document specifies the energy efficiency level, allowable value of energy efficiency, sampling, testing and calculation methods of AC contactors (hereinafter referred to as contactors). This document is applicable to the three-pole electromechanical type with a rated frequency of 50 Hz, a rated operating voltage of the main circuit of 1000V and below, a rated operating current of 6A~630A, a rated control power supply voltage of the contactor of AC 400V and below, and an application category of AC3. , Direct-acting integral contactor. This document does not apply to external power-saving devices, household and similar contactors and semiconductor contactors (solid-state contactors). Note: The "direct-acting type" mentioned in this document refers to the products whose contact system and electromagnetic system are both direct-acting.
