Schneider CR1F500M7 TeSys F magnetic latching contactor - 3P(3 NO) - 500 A - ...

The Schneider Electric CR1F500M7 is a 3-pole magnetic latching contactor from the TeSys F range, rated 500 A (AC-3, <=440 V). The 220-230 V AC or DC coil holds contact state without continuous power, requiring only a brief pulse to latch or unlatch, suited for heavy-duty motor control and industrial load switching.

Features and benefits:

• Magnetic latching design holds contact position without continuous coil power, reducing standby energy consumption in the control circuit.
• Accepts 220-230 V AC (50-400 Hz) or 220-230 V DC control voltage for broad installation compatibility.
• Short-time withstand current (Icw) of 4200 A for up to 10 s at 40°C supports coordination with upstream protection devices.
• Compatible with aM 500 A, gG 800 A, and BS88 800 A fuses at <=440 V for system-level overcurrent protection.

Applications:

• Switching and control of large motors up to 250 kW in industrial installations.
• Power distribution panels requiring infrequent operation with minimal standby power draw.
• Bus-tie and load transfer switching in industrial substations and LV switchboards.

Compliant with EN/IEC 60947-1 and EN/IEC 60947-4-1. Part of the Schneider Electric TeSys F range.
