What are the coil voltage codes used for contactors and relays?

Article available in these languages: Korean, Dutch

Schneider Electric Industrial Control (Telemecanique) voltage codes are a 2 character code added to the end of a part number. The first digit indcates the voltage, the second indicates the frequency.

Here are the common coil voltage codes:

1st Digit:

2nd Digit

B = 24
E = 48
F = 110
M = 220
P = 230
U = 240
Q = 380
V = 400
N = 415
R = 440

5 = 50Hz
6 = 60Hz
7 = 50/60Hz
D = DC

eg:

BD = 24VDC
F7 = 110VAC 50/60Hz etc

Most AC coils currently offered are "7", 50/60Hz

P7 and V7 refers to 230VAC and 400VAC. These voltages are the European Standard voltages for single and three phase supplies across the ETA. In reality actual generated voltages have remained the same, mainland Europe and the Irish Republic standard supply is still 220VAC/380VAC 50 Hz. UK is still 240VAC/415VAC 50Hz. It is the standard which has been modified to suit both sets of voltages. Consequently, any piece of equipment which is rated at 230VAC must be suitable for use at both 220VAC  at the the lower end and 240VAC  at the upper end. Equipment rated 400V must be  suitable  for use at 380 to 415V.

220 and 380VAC coils (M and Q) are optimised for use at actual mainland European voltages, as are 240 and 415VAC coils (U and N) optimised for use with UK voltages of 240/415VAC

Examples of how these codes are used:

1) Motor Contactor 9A AC3 with a 110V AC 50/60Hz Coil

LC1D09F7
F = 110V
7 = 50/60Hz

2) Miniature Plug-in Realy 6A 4 Change over contacts 24VAC with LED

RXM4AB2B7
B = 24V
7 = 50/60Hz

3) Zeliocompact smart relay Zelio Logic - 12 I O - clock - display - Powered by 24 V DC

SR2B121BD
B = 24V
D = DC

Note: Beside the traditional coils mentioned above, some of our contactors can also have Electronic coils.
One of the advantages of the Electronic coils is that instead of having a specific coil voltage you will have a range instead.
Common electronic coil codes will be:

BNE - 24..60V ac/dc
EHE - 48..130V ac/dc
KUE - 100..250V ac/dc
