Typical Starter Kit bundles
-
≤4 kW small motors: NXC-09 + NXR-25 + 6–10A C-curve MCB → pumps, fans, small conveyors
-
5.5–11 kW common range: NXC-18 / NXC-25 / NXC-32 + NXR-25 → compressors, machine-tool coolers
-
15–22 kW mid range: NXC-38 / NXC-50 + NXR-38 / NXR-100 → large fans, air compressors
-
30–45 kW heavy duty: NXC-80 / NXC-95 + NXR-100 → large pump groups, agitators

CHINT NXC contactors (NXC-09/12/18/25/32, AC 24–380V coil):
-
CHINT Kunlun NXR thermal overload relays (0.4–100A, NXR-25/38/100):
⚠️ Notes: *HP = kW×1.34 (approx.); size from kW/FLC, not HP. NXR-25 max setting ~22A, so 11kW still fits; 15kW+ moves to NXR-38/NXR-100. NXR side-couples to NXC via bracket — no extra wiring for the trip contact. For >45kW consider NXC-115/150, soft starter or VFD, and verify IEC Type 2 coordination.
