DP40C4P-1 - ABB Definite Purpose Contactor Description
DP40C4P-1 - ABB Definite Purpose Contactor
Looking for a heavy-duty contactor that delivers dependable performance in HVAC and industrial environments? The ABB DP40C4P‑1 is engineered to tackle the most demanding applications—from compressors and refrigeration systems to resistive heaters and motor loads. Boasting a 40 A motor rating and 50 A resistive capacity, it handles voltages up to 600 VAC and operates in extreme environments (–40 °C to +65 °C). Whether you’re upgrading controls on a 3 HP blower or managing a 25 HP three-phase motor, this contactor makes integration reliable and straightforward—no compromises.
Key Features and Benefits
- Heavy‑Duty Switching Power: Controls up to 40 A motor loads and 50 A resistive loads at voltages up to 600 VAC—ideal for demanding environments.
- Multi‑HP Capability: Runs single-phase motors at 3 HP (120 V) or 7.5 HP (240 V); handles three-phase motors from 10 HP to 25 HP, depending on voltage.
- 4 Normally‑Open (NO) Contacts: Great for HVAC systems, refrigeration, motor starters, and heater circuits—ensures smooth operation and efficient control.
