Hager Contactor 40A 2NO 230V ESC240

Hager ESC240: 40A 2NO Contactor with 230V AC coil voltage for remote switching and control of power circuits in Hager distribution board installations.

Reliable Power Switching & Control

The ESC240 handles remote switching and control of power circuits up to 40A (AC1), making it suitable for lighting banks, heating circuits, and other switched loads where manual operation isn't practical. Two normally open (NO) contacts give straightforward on/off control without the complexity of multi-pole gear.

Flexible Lighting & Mixed Load Control

Rated to Utility Category 7, this contactor is built for the demands of lighting circuits alongside general resistive and inductive loads. It handles up to 4000W of incandescent lamp load, 1900VA of fluorescent lamp load (rising to 3000VA on duo circuits, or 1300VA where parallel compensation is used) so one device covers several common lighting configurations found on a Hager electrical installation.

Installation & Compliance

A compact 3-module width keeps panel space to a minimum, a real benefit when space in the enclosure is tight. The 230V AC coil (rated excitation voltage) pairs with a 400V rated operating voltage, and IP2X protection guards against accidental contact once installed. Where multiple contactors sit side by side, or next to other heat-generating devices, Hager Ltd specifies LZ060 heat dissipation inserts to manage thermal build-up. Auxiliary contact functionality can be added using the Hager ESC080 block, giving extra signalling or interlocking options without swapping the base unit.
