Schindler MG6 Contactor

Description

Schindler MG6 Contactor

This Schindler MG6 contactor switches electrical power in compatible elevator and escalator control systems. It can control motors and other high-current circuits while the controller manages the switching signal.

The unit includes three main power poles, auxiliary contacts and a clearly marked terminal layout. In addition, the front indicator allows technicians to check the contactor position during testing and maintenance.

Key features

• MG6 contactor design
• Three main power poles
• Auxiliary normally open and normally closed contacts
• 80V coil rating shown on the unit
• AC-3 operational rating
• Rated current shown as 55A
• Rated voltage shown as 380V

• Suitable for control-panel repairs and maintenance

Typical applications

Technicians can use this contactor to replace a worn, burnt or unreliable switching unit in a compatible lift or escalator control panel. For example, common problems may include contact wear, overheating, noisy operation or failure to switch correctly.

Regular inspection can help identify loose terminals, damaged contacts and signs of heat before the component fails. Therefore, replacing a faulty contactor can support more reliable motor and control-circuit operation.

Compatibility notice

Before ordering, confirm the coil voltage, current rating, number of poles, auxiliary-contact layout and terminal positions. Also compare the model number and electrical specifications with the original component, because appearance alone does not confirm compatibility.
