The new range of capacitor duty contactor has been launched to provide a reliable and economical solution for capacitor switching applications. In Low Voltage industrial installations, capacitors are mainly used for reactive power correction (raising the power factor).
UA...-R contactors for capacitor switching (UA 16-R ... UA 75-R) with insertion of damping resistors. The insertion of damping resistors rids the contactor of excessively high inrush currents. Refer to the table on page 6 for the operational values. 4 1SBC 0064 99 R1002 ABB Control Contactors for Capacitor Switching Selection Table
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.
A er successful dampening of inrush current, the main contacts closes & the aux contacts gets automa cally disconnected from the circuit thru a de-latching mechanism. If a conven onal power contactor is used for a capacitor switching applica on, the size of contactor will be more which will in turn increase the system cost.
If a conven onal power contactor is used for a capacitor switching applica on, the size of contactor will be more which will in turn increase the system cost. On the other hand, size of a special capacitor duty contactor will be less and so the total system cost for the same applica on.
