CHOICE CRITERIA
The contactor during the closing transition is influenced by
electrical currents having high frequencies and high
amplitudes.
The frequencies of these currents range between 1 and
10kHz; the amplitudes must have values lower than the
maximum permissible current peak of the contactor to be
used.
AMBIENT OPERATING CONDITIONS
Ambient temperature: ≤120°F (50°C).
For temperatures higher than 50°C up to 160°F/70°C, stated
maximum operational power ratings are to be reduced by a
percentage equal to the difference between the ambient
temperature and 120°F/50°C.
Operating cycle: ≤ 120 cy/h
Electrical life: ≥ 100,000 cycles.

The use of contactors with the above operational powers is
allowable only when the peak current, in the installation point
of the power factor correction board, is lower than the values
stated in the table.
If this condition is not verified, it is necessary to use limiting
inductances or specific contactors stated on page 3-8.
Contact Sales & Technical Support to obtain detailed
information on the correct use of contactors without limiting
inductances.
LIMITING INDUCTANCES
The use of limiting inductances is imperative when the system
inductances (line transformer and cables), upstream of the
power factor correction panel, are not able to maintain the
maximum connecting current within the limit value of the
contactor used.
FAST DISCHARGE RESISTANCES OF CAPACITORS
The use of the contactor, according to the wiring diagram
given, allows the fast discharge of the capacitors as well as
the instantaneous disconnection of the capacitors from the
mains when the coil is de-energised.
The resistances, indicated in the following table, guarantee the
discharge within a maximum time of 2 seconds.
