Reliable DC-Controlled Switching for Industrial Machinery

Industrial contactors such as the Finder 6K.13.9.060.4324 provide electrically operated switching of power circuits through a separate control circuit. When the contactor's 60 V DC electromagnetic coil is energised, its magnetic mechanism closes the three normally open main contacts, allowing electrical power to flow to the connected load. When the coil is de-energised, the contacts return to their normally open state, disconnecting the switched circuit.

The contactor's 24 A AC-3 rating at 400 V AC makes it suitable for controlling three-phase squirrel-cage motors under defined AC-3 operating conditions. With a corresponding motor power rating of 11 kW at 400 V AC, it can be incorporated into direct-on-line motor starters, industrial conveyors, pumping systems and automated production equipment where reliable switching is required.

The 60 V DC operating coil makes this model suitable for control systems designed around a nominal 60 V DC supply. Its specified coil operating range of 48–66 V DC provides an allowance for supply variation under the relevant operating conditions. The contactor can be controlled through appropriately rated relays, automation outputs and motor control circuits, enabling remote switching of the connected power circuit.

The Finder Series 6K combines durable AgSnO2 contacts with practical DIN rail installation. Its mechanical endurance of 10 million operations, compact construction and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for industrial electrical control environments. The contactor should be installed with appropriately selected motor overload protection and short-circuit protective devices where required.

Typical Applications

  • Three-phase industrial motor starting and stopping circuits.
  • Industrial motor control centres and electrical distribution panels.
  • Conveyor systems and material handling machinery.
  • Pumps, compressors and ventilation equipment.
  • Manufacturing and automated production machinery.
  • Packaging and processing equipment.
  • Industrial heating and resistive-load switching within applicable ratings.
  • 60 V DC controlled industrial automation systems.
  • Electrical control cabinets and DIN rail mounted switching assemblies.
  • OEM machine building and industrial electrical control systems.
