Auxiliary Contacts

A flexible and modular system built for motors up to 4 kW/400 V, the PKZ 0 system offers efficiency whilst being economical whatever the motor started performance profile. Eaton's fail-safe auxiliary contacts offer several contact combinations and are front or right-hand side mountable depending on their design, no tools needed! Trip indication presents through a red short-circuit indicator on some components, allowing users to view a trip easily, other information is provided to the upstream programmable controller. Information provided includes "on/off" on the protective switch, "tripped" message for overload or short circuits, and "on/off" for the contact module.

Features and benefits:

For fitting to front or right hand side of MPCB - PKZM0
Standard versions operate when unit is 'ON' or 'OFF'
Trip indicating versions identify overload and short-circuit conditions

For use with PKZM01, PKZM0, PKZM4, PKZM0-T, PKM0, and PKE.

Applications:

Motor starters, Control systems, Control, and Signalling equipment.

How do Auxiliary Contacts work?

An Auxiliary Contact is an electromechanical device that is mounted typically to contactors. They are physically connected to the contactor, with simultaneous activation and deactivation applying to both of the devices at the same time.

Aux Contacts can be installed onto contactors either by front mounting, or side mounting. This is usually clear in the shape and size of the product, but please check the compatibility of your devices. Aux Contacts are really useful devices to aid in keeping an eye on the contactor.
