Where it sits in the control system
The 2900573 is the device-level element in a Phoenix Contact circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — the rated supply — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Phoenix Contact 2900573
Phoenix Contact 2900573 — Industrial automation component supplied as a like-for-like replacement, selected by catalog number and published ratings. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number 2900573; confirm the installed unit's part number and revision so the replacement matches both electrically and mechanically.
- Rated torque: 0.5 Nm ... 0.6 Nm — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Enclosure rating: IP20 (IEC 60529) — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Operating temperature: -25...+60 °C (IEC 60068-2-1) — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Datasheets and compliance documents are available on request; quote the full catalog number when enquiring.
Common questions about 2900573
Q.For 2900573, what does the specification table state about number of poles?
The specification table lists number of poles = 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 (IEC 60947-2) for Phoenix Contact 2900573. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Which value is published under rated insulation voltage Ui for catalog number 2900573?
For 2900573, rated insulation voltage Ui is given as 440 V (IEC 60947-2). Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Before ordering 2900573, which enclosure rating entry should be checked?
The enclosure rating entry quoted above is IP20 (IEC 60529). Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of 2900573 before ordering?
Match the catalog number 2900573 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
Q.Can the 2900573 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number 2900573 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
