The AF contactor technology revolutionizes how we use contactors and allows use in all parts of the world and in all network conditions. Furthermore, mini-contactor range offers compact dimensions and specific connection possibilities. The AS contactor is efficient and allows you to optimize your equipment design.
Capacitor contactors with damping resistors make use of pre-switching auxiliary contacts and are used in PFC systems with slowly changing loads. They close before the main contacts and pre-load the capacitor in order to prevent current peak values. This has a significant positive influence on the life expectancy of the capacitor and also

The XTCC capacitor contactors are specifically designed to handle the unique application requirements for banked or group PFC. Developed from the XT family of contactors, the XTCC have special anti-weld contact material and resistors that are in parallel with the capacitors. The resistors work in conjunction with a special early
The contactor that controls the on and off of the capacitor is called the capacitor switching contactor, which is similar to the conventional contactor. However, there are some differences between them. The contactors for capacitor switching are composed of a conventional contactor as well as extra auxiliary contacts and wires (resistance wires).

The contactors for capacitor switching is actually composed of a conventional contactor as well as extra auxiliary contacts and wires (resistance wires). The main function of the capacitor contactor lies in the auxiliary contact, which is very different from the conventional contact.
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.
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.
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.
This high peak current stresses both the capacitor as well as the contacts of the contactors. These switching currents can lead to reduced capacitor life and welding of the main contactor contacts. Modern capacitor systems use special contactors that are equipped with resistors to suppress the switching currents.
FRAKO capacitor switching contactors are designed for long life, yet they are compact and have low power losses. When switched capacitors do not include series connected reactors, it is very important to use contactors with pre-charge resistors.
