NEMA contact ratings


NEMA contact ratings are how much current at a rated voltage a relay or other pilot device can switch. The current rating of smaller NEMA contactors or their auxiliaries are defined by NEMA ICS 5: Industrial Control and Systems, Control Circuit and Pilot Devices standard. The nomenclature is a letter followed by a three digit number, the letter designates the current rating of the contacts and the current type and the number designates the maximum voltage design values.
