BCH 914 DC Mill Duty Contactor (150A, 1 NO)
BCH 900 range DC mill duty contactor type 914, single pole normally open, rated 150 A thermal and DC-5 operational current at 600 V. Designed for arduous crane and steel-industry duty, it switches AC or DC circuits with a DC-energised operating coil and is fitted with surge suppressors as standard. Cast or forged frame and armature on an insulated steel channel, hinged arc chutes with magnetic blow-out, and renewable cadmium-copper contacts.
