MC-500a/4

Description

LS Electric Metasol – MC-500a/4

4-pole contactor rated ≈500 A per pole; used where neutral switching or an extra pole is required; typical SKUs include wide coil bands and 2a2b auxiliaries.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

When you need neutral isolation at the 500 A scale, this is the practical option. Expect bigger dimensions and heavier mounting hardware than the 3-pole version; ratings and accessory compatibility remain aligned with the MC-500a family.

Pros

• Neutral switching at 500 A, required by some circuits and codes.
• Same wide-band coil options and auxiliaries as MC-500a.

Limitations

• Increased size, weight and panel planning vs 3P.
• IP20; enclosure recommended for industrial dirty/wet sites.
• Verify exact PN for terminal style and aux config before ordering.

Typical use cases

• 3-phase + neutral feeders requiring isolation at 500 A switching.
• Large transfer panels and distribution switchgear where 4P simplifies wiring.
