Couldn't load pickup availability
The Himel HDC3 is a 3-pole power contactor rated 120–630 A in AC-3 (motors of about 55–355 kW at 400 V) with a 100–250 V coil. It switches three-phase motors, heaters, lighting groups and capacitor steps remotely from push buttons, PLCs, float switches, pressure switches or timers, and combines with a thermal overload relay or MPCB to form a complete motor starter. This listing covers several ratings – choose the version that matches the motor current.
Key features
- 120–630 A AC-3 rating for motors of 55–355 kW
- Coil 100–250 V
- Long electrical and mechanical life for frequent switching
- Add-on auxiliary contacts, timers, surge suppressors and mechanical interlocks
- Direct mounting of matching thermal overload relays
- DIN-rail or screw mounting (frame dependent)

Selection and installation tips
Select the contactor by the motor full-load current in AC-3 rather than kW alone, choose the coil voltage to match the control circuit (220–230 V AC is the most common in Egypt), and add a thermal overload relay whose setting range covers the motor current.
Frequently asked questions
What motor size can the Himel HDC3 control?
It is rated 120–630 A in AC-3 duty at 400 V, which corresponds to three-phase motors of about 55–355 kW.
What is AC-3?
AC-3 is the IEC utilisation category for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors – the standard rating used to select motor contactors.
Do I need an overload relay with the contactor?
Yes. A contactor only switches the motor; protection against overload must be provided by a thermal overload relay or a motor protection circuit breaker.
