Coil data
- Available coil voltages
- Suffix A = 110/120 V · B = 24 V · C = 208–240 V · L = 380–440 V (50/60 Hz smart coils on many)
- Inrush VA
- ≈ 70–90 VA
- Sealed (holding) VA
- ≈ 8–10 VA
- Pickup voltage
- 85–110% of rated
- Dropout voltage
- 20–75% of rated
Typical measured coil resistance (±15%, ballpark)
24 VAC (B)≈ 6–10 Ω
120 VAC (A)≈ 130–230 Ω
OL = open coil · near zero = shorted turns · coil-to-frame must read >1 MΩ.
Coil resistance checker
Pick the coil voltage, enter your meter reading across A1–A2 (coil disconnected), and compare it to the expected ballpark.
Ω
This model (24 VAC (B) table value)6 Ω–10 Ω
Generic small-frame 24 VAC8 Ω–16 Ω
OL = open coil. 0–2 Ω = shorted turns (often from a cooked transformer). Ballpark only (±15%+); electronic wide-range coils (e.g. ABB AF) read misleading values — test those at rated voltage instead. Always measure coil-to-frame too: must be >1 MΩ.
Terminals & accessories
Power/coil terminals: 1/3/5 in, 2/4/6 out; A1/A2; cage-clamp or screw
Auxiliary contacts: XTPAXFA front aux blocks; some SKUs include 1 NO
Companion overload: XTOB / ZEB overload relays mount directly

Field notes
- XT frames B/C/D share aux blocks; frame letters jump by rating, not footprint.
