Rational 40.06.455P Contactor 3 Pole 40A 200-240V

Product Description

The RATIONAL 40.06.455P is a 3-pole contactor rated at 40 amps with a 200-240 volt coil operating at 50/60 Hz. Contactors of this type serve as electrically operated switches that control power to motor loads, heating elements, and other high-current circuits. This unit is designed for installation in commercial cooking and food service equipment, where reliable switching under continuous load conditions is essential. Licensed electricians and qualified service technicians install and service this component as part of routine equipment maintenance or failure diagnosis.

This contactor is suited for commercial kitchen equipment applications, particularly in RATIONAL combi oven and cooking systems that require a 3-pole switching solution at 200-240 volt operating ranges. It is a direct OEM-replacement component intended for restoring proper electrical switching function in equipment where the original contactor has failed or shows signs of contact wear, coil failure, or overheating. Service work is typically performed in commercial kitchen environments requiring scheduled downtime or emergency repair.

Key Features

• 3-pole design handles three-phase or multi-leg circuit switching in a single unit
