Engineering verification checklist
- Confirm line voltage falls within the 230–240 VAC coil range before ordering
- Verify 30 A contact rating meets the specific lighting load ampacity requirements
- Check that chassis mounting dimensions and hole spacing match the panel cutout
- Confirm 248 VA coil inrush does not exceed available control-circuit transformer capacity
- Validate 25°C–40°C operating temperature range is suitable for the intended enclosure ambient
- Verify that the 5-pole (2 NO / 3 NC) contact arrangement matches the lighting circuit configuration (e.g., multi-wire branch circuits requiring dedicated neutral switching)
- Confirm auxiliary contact function aligns with the control scheme requirements
- Review applicable codes for lighting contactor coordination (e.g., NEC Article 210.70 for lighting disconnect requirements)
- Verify that 248 VA holding current does not cause excessive coil heating in continuous-duty applications
