What is a Contactor? Their Operation, Application & Selection

A contactor is a switching device, widely used for the switching of motors, capacitors (for power factor correction), and lights. As the name indicates it is used to make or break contacts like an ordinary on-off switch. The only difference is that the contactors have an electromagnet that holds the contacts when energized whereas switches do not have it.

6 FAQs about [Contactors and switching capacitors]

How to select capacitor switching contactors?

Primarily, understanding the selection codes of the capacitor switching contactors; to start with is the range name, HDC19s, which is followed by the numerical denoting the frame current varying from 25A to 175A. Next to the sequence, we have the list of auxiliary contacts based on the number of NO and NC contacts.

What type of contactor is used for capacitor switching?

Contactors for Capacitor Switching(UA 16 to UA 110) Maximum permissible peak current Î< 100 times the nominal rms current of the switched capacitor. A... and AF... Standard Contactors(A 12 to A 300 and AF 50 to AF 750) Maximum permissible peak current Î < 30 times the nominal rms current of the switched capacitor. Contactors for Capacitor Switching

Which contactors are suited for capacitor bank switching?

Application The A...and AF...contactors are suited for capacitor bank switching for the peak current and power values in the table below. The capacitors must be discharged (maximum residual voltage at terminals < 50 V)before being re-energized when the contactors are making.

Why do cwmc contactors reduce a capacitor's useful life?

When capacitor banks are switched, the voltage associated with a low line impedance may produce high currents on the capacitors. This current may reach 100 x In, being one of the main causes of reduction in the capacitor useful life. The CWMC contactors feature pre-charge resistors that limit the "in-rush current" when the capacitors are switched.

How does a capacitor work?

Modern capacitor systems use special contactors that are equipped with resistors to suppress the switching currents. The resistors are switched in series with the capacitor prior to closing of the main contacts and removed from the circuit after energization. inrush current than for systems that do not include reactors.

What type of contactors can be used on multi-step capacitor bank?

The use of standard A 9 A 110 3-pole contactors is then possible on multi-step capacitor bank. The capacitors must be discharged (maximum residual voltage at terminals < 50 V)before being re-energized when the contactors are making. In these conditions, electrical durability of contactors is larger than 100 000 operating cycles. Selection Table
