AF09 ... AF30 contactors are used for controlling power circuits up to 600 V AC and 240 V DC.
They are mainly used for controlling 3-phase motors, non-inductive or slightly inductive loads.

Description
AF09 ... AF30 contactors include an electronic coil interface accepting a wide control voltage Uc min. ... Uc max.
Only four coils cover control voltages between 24...500 V 50/60 Hz or 20...500 V DC
AF contactors can manage large control voltage variations. One coil (e.g. 100...250 V 50/60 Hz - DC) can be used
for different control voltages used worldwide without any coil change
AF contactors have built-in surge protection and do not require additional surge suppressors
The built-in N.C. auxiliary contact is a mirror contact in compliance with annex F of IEC 60947-4-1.

CE

AF09ZR ... AF30ZR reversing contactors are used for controlling power circuits up to 600 V AC and 240 V DC.
They are mainly used for controlling 3-phase motors.

Description
AF09ZR ... AF30ZR contactors include an electronic coil interface accepting a wide control voltage Uc min. ... Uc max
and managing large control voltage variations.
AF..Z contactors cover control voltages comprised between 24...250 V 50/60Hz or 12...250 V DC
AF..Z contactors allow direct control by PLC-output 24 V DC 500 mA and obtain a reduced holding coil
consumption.
AF..Z contactors withstand short dips and voltage interruptions (SEMI F47-0706 compliance)
AF..Z contactors have built-in surge protection and do not require additional surge suppressors
The built-in N.C. auxiliary contact is a mirror contact in compliance with annex F of IEC 60947-4-1.

AF09N00 ... AF26N1, NEMA contactors are used for controlling power circuits up to 600 V AC and 240 V DC.
They are mainly used for controlling 3-phase motors.

Description
AF09N00 ... AF26N1 NEMA contactors include an electronic coil interface accepting a wide control voltage
Uc min. ... Uc max. Only four coils cover control voltages between 24...500 V 50/60 Hz or 20...500 V DC
AF contactors can manage large control voltage variations. One coil (e.g. 100...250 V 50/60 Hz - DC) can be used
for different control voltages used worldwide without any coil change
AF contactors have built-in surge protection and do not require additional surge suppressors
The built-in N.C. auxiliary contact is a mirror contact in compliance with annex F of IEC 60947-4-1.

DC Circuit Switching IEC Ratings
General
The arc switching on DC is more difficult than on AC.
For selecting a contactor it is essential to determine the current, the voltage and the L/R time constant of the controlled load.
For information, typical time constant values are quoted hereafter: non inductive loads such as resistance furnaces (L/R 1 ms), inductive loads such as shunt
motors (L/R 2 ms) or series motors (L/R 7.5 ms).
The addition of a resistor in parallel with an inductive winding helps in the elimination of the arcs.
All the poles required for breaking must be connected in series between the load and the source polarity not linked to earth (or chassis).

Technical Data
The tables indicate for the standard contactors the Ie max. operating currents depending on: the utilization category (i.e. L/R) DC-1, DC-3, DC-5 as dened in
the IEC 60947-4-1 publication, the operating voltage Ue and the pole coupling details.
Ampere values quoted in these tables are valid for a -25 +70 C temperature close to the contactors, as long as these values do not exceed the
AC-1 Ampere values for the corresponding ambient temperature.
Max. switching frequency: 300 cycles/h.

Contactor Electrical Durability and Utilization Categories
General

Utilization categories determine the current making and breaking conditions relating to the characteristics of the loads to be controlled by the contactors.
International standard IEC 60947-4-1 and European standard EN 60947-4-1 are the standards to be referred to.
If Ic is the current to be broken by the contactor and Ie the rated operational current normally drawn by the load, then:

Categories AC-1 and AC-3: Ic = Ie

Category AC-2: Ic = 2.5 x Ie
Category AC-4: Ic = 6 x Ie
Generally speaking Ic = m x Ie where m is a multiple of the load operational current.
On next pages, the curves corresponding to categories AC-1, AC-3 and AC-4 represent the electrical durability variation of standard contactors in relation
to the breaking current Ic .
Electrical durability is expressed in millions of operating cycles.

Curve Utilization Mode

Electrical durability forecast and contactor selection for categories AC-1, AC-2, AC-3 or AC-4
Note the characteristics of the load to be controlled:
Operational voltage ........................................................................... Ue
Current normally drawn ..................................................................... Ie (Ue / Ie / kW relation for motors, see Motor Rated Operational Powers and
Currents).
Utilization category ............................................................................ AC-1, AC-2, AC-3 or AC-4
Breaking current ................................................................................ Ic = Ie for AC-1 and for AC-3 ; Ic = 2.5 x Ie for AC-2 ; Ic = 6 x Ie for AC-4
Define the number of operating cycles N required.
On the diagram corresponding to the operational category, select the contactor with the curve immediately above the intersection point (Ic ; N).

Electrical durability forecast and contactor selection for mixed duty motor control: AC-3 (Ic = Ie) type switching off while
motor running and, occasionally, AC-4 (Ic = 6 x Ie) type switching off while motor accelerating
Note the characteristics of the motor to be controlled:
Operational voltage ........................................................................... Ue
Current normally drawn while motor running .................................. Ie (Ue / Ie / kW relation for motors, see Motor Rated Operational Powers and
Currents)
Breaking current for AC-3 .................................................................. Ic = Ie
Breaking current for AC-4 while motor accelerating ........................ Ic = 6 x Ie
Percentage of AC-4 operating cycles ................................................ K (on the basis of the total number of operating cycles)
Define the total number of operating cycles N required.
Note the smallest contactor rating compatible for AC-3 (Ue / Ie) on Main Pole Utilization Characteristic table (see Technical Data).
For the selected contactor make a note of the following in relation to the voltage using diagram AC-3 in next pages:
The number of operating cycles A for Ic = Ie (AC-3)
The number of operating cycles B for Ic = 6 x Ie (AC-4)
Calculate the estimated number of cycles N (N is always below A)
N=
A
1 + 0.01 K (A/B - 1)
If N is too low in relation to the target N, calculate the estimated number of cycles for a higher contactor rating.
Case of uninterrupted duty
For uninterrupted duty, some verifications of preventing maintenance are necessary to check the functionality of the concerned product (consult us).
The combinated effect of environmental conditions and the proper temperature of the product may require some disposals. As a matter of fact, for this
duty, the use duration prevails over the number of operating cycles.
