Selection

TeSys contactors
Variable composition contactors CV1 B (80 to 1000 A) and CV3 B (80 to 500 A)

Selection

To dene a contactor The criteria required to dene the composition of a contactor are: b the number of N/O and N/C power poles, b the current and power supply voltage, L (note: on a d.c. supply, the time constant ---- of the load must be known in order to R dene the number of poles to be wired in series to break the arc), b the control circuit voltage, b the number of auxiliary contacts. To order a contactor Contactor selectable by code combinations b Use the symbol combination table on page 26218/3. b Check the maximum number of poles in the selection table on page 26218/4. b Check the operational currents possible below (selection restrictions). Contactor not selectable by code combinations b For a composition that cannot be selected using these tables, use order form CF 452, page 26218/5.
