4 Pole Contactor Connections

I'm hoping someone can advise on the labelling of contactors, I understand the L1,L2,L3, my question is what does the T stand for on the outgoing side? I do understand how to wire up a contactor however have never been able to find this out?


Also currently having to rebuild an enclosure with replacement contactors due to an overheating issue that we have found, is there any requirement to leave air space around each contactor or are they fine being butted up to one another. I'm thinking from a heat dissipation point of view. Cant find any information regarding this through the manufacturer specs. Is there a case of best practice when it comes to this?

    Hi Ben, I had a look for you and the last post on this American electrical forum seems a reasonable explanation, T= terminus

    As per your overheating issues, it would make sense to me to not butt well loaded contractors together but I would advise that you would need to contact the manufacturer for that info.
