This auxiliary contact block provides fault signalling with one normally open and one normally closed contact, allowing status feedback to be taken from the associated contactor or motor protection device. It is fitted to compatible Schneider Electric devices to indicate operating state within control panel circuits. Typical use is in motor control and protection schemes where auxiliary switching signals are required for monitoring or interlocking.
