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

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.

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
