Eaton Contactor DILM32-XHI11-S

💡 Product Overview and Key Features

Designed for high‑current applications, the DILM series offers the following key features:

• Wide current range: Covers motor switching applications from 9 A up to 170 A, and can be extended to very high currents from 185 A to 2,600 A (with the DILH series).

• High switching capacity: Reliably handles the high inrush currents during motor starting and operation.

• Compact design: Space‑saving dimensions help reduce enclosure volume.

• Long service life: Extended electrical and mechanical endurance ensures long‑term system stability.

• Energy efficient: Electronic control drives optimise holding power and reduce temperature rise within the switchgear.

• IE3 compatible: Suitable for use with IE3 efficiency class motors.
