Crydom Drc3r

The DRC3R Series is a family of DIN Rail Mount, IEC standard based Solid State Contactors with a proprietary thermal management technology, which allows them to handle reversing control of 3-phase motors of up to 5HP at 480 VAC in a compact 45mm wide package. This provides a size reduction of 50% compared to equivalent reversing electromechanical contactors.

The DRC3R Series models include a control interlock feature that allows only Off, Forward and Reverse operation in a safe mode, and they are available with optional embedded auxiliary contacts for additional functionality in your control circuits. They are available with an enhanced 18-30 VDC control input compatible with most solid state type outputs.

Features:

  • LED input status indicator
  • AC or DC control
  • Available with Solid State or EMR auxiliary contacts
  • Built-in Overvoltage Protection
  • UL 100 kA Short Circuit Current Rating
  • C-UL-US listed, IEC rated, CE compliant, Horsepower Rated
