What it does (simple explanation)

Power Supply
↓
100-C23KF01 Contactor (coil energized)
↓
Motor / Load ON or OFF

When the coil is energized (230V AC):

• Contacts close → power flows → motor runs
  When coil is de-energized:
• Contacts open → motor stops

So it works like an electrically controlled heavy-duty switch.

Main Functions

• Switches 3-phase motors ON/OFF
• Controls pumps, fans, compressors
• Works with PLC outputs or pushbutton stations
• Provides auxiliary contact feedback (1NC)
• Used in motor starter assemblies (with overload relay)

Key Features

• Compact IEC design (DIN rail mount)
• High reliability for motor switching
• Built-in auxiliary contact for control feedback
• Low coil power consumption
• Compatible with overload relays and accessories
• Suitable for industrial control panels

Applications

• Motor control centers (MCC)
• HVAC systems (fans, compressors)
• Industrial pumps
• Conveyor systems
• Machinery power switching
• Automation control cabinets
