People Electric · AC Contactor
Product overview
Original People Electric RDC5 AC contactors provide remote making and breaking of motor and distribution circuits. This listing covers normal-type three-pole contactors, with source-backed AC-3 ratings from 6 to 95A at 380/400V. An appropriately matched overload relay can be used in a motor-starter assembly. The main-circuit voltage and the control-coil voltage are separate ratings.

Current buttons refer to AC-3 duty at 380/400V. Do not apply those current or motor-power values at 660/690V or in AC-4 duty. This listing covers normal-type 3P versions only. Reversing, dust-cover, 4P and 2NO+2NC versions are not included. The catalogue lists a 38A frame but leaves its built-in auxiliary-contact coding unclear; 38A therefore remains unavailable here. Series photographs can show other ratings or auxiliary arrangements. Confirm the supplied coil frequency and complete ordering reference with the quotation.
Typical applications
- Remote switching of AC motors within the documented utilization-category ratings.
- Motor starter assemblies with a correctly selected overload relay.
