Eaton DILM17-22 3-Pole Power Contactor, 7.5 kW/400 V, 240 V 60 Hz Coil, 2NO+2NC 106364

Industrial motor control demands a contactor that can switch high-power loads reliably over millions of operations. The Eaton DILM17-22 power contactor addresses this need with a rated operational power of 7.5 kW at 400 V AC-3, making it suitable for three-phase motors up to 17 A. Its 240 V 60 Hz coil allows direct integration into control circuits, while the 2 normally open and 2 normally closed auxiliary contacts provide flexibility for interlocking and status feedback.

Who is it for

This contactor is intended for electrical engineers, panel builders, and maintenance technicians who design or service motor starters, heating circuits, and other industrial switching applications. It fits into control cabinets where DIN rail or screw mounting is used and where reliable switching under AC-3 and AC-1 load categories is required.

Tips

When selecting a contactor for motor starting, ensure the AC-3 rating matches the motor's full-load current. The auxiliary contacts can be used for control interlocks or to signal the contactor state to a PLC. For coil suppression, consider adding an RC element or varistor to reduce voltage spikes in the control circuit.
