Operation of the control circuit without interposing relays
The control signal from the protection device (emergency
stop pushbutton illustrated to the left) acts directly on the
power contactor of the device.
In this type of scheme, the risks of simple faults are :
- emergency stop button auxiliary contact being shorted
out,
- KM1 contactor sticking in.
When the operator presses an emergency stop button, the
instruction is not processed, and another sequence can
begin following the emergency stop, despite the presence
of the fault.
In this case of failure, the safety function is
compromised.
Operation of the control circuit with interposing relays
KM5 and KM6 contactors with mechanically linked contacts
Preventa safety modules provide a reliable interposing relay function by overcoming a number of risks associated with :
- control circuit fault (inputs),
- power circuit fault (outputs),
- safety module internal component fault.
For the use of mechanically linked contact relays CA2-DN22/DN31 and contactors LC1-D09/D18/D25, LP1-D09/D18/
D25, with contacts which can be used in the feedback loop, consult your local Customer support centre.

Derating factor for inductive circuits
Note : In a.c. inductive circuits, the breaking capacity and
electrical life are determined by cos . The breaking capacity
and electrical life can be calculated using the rating curves
(Figures 1 and 2).
Example : According to the derating factor curve (Figure 2),
an electrical circuit with a power of 1000 VA and cos = 0.4
has a derating factor (F) of 0.7. The power then becomes
1000 x 0.7 = 700 VA.

Conformity to standards
Standard IEC 38
With the publication of international standard IEC 38, 1983 edition, voltage ratings in the field of low voltage products were
redefined. The a.c. power supply mains ratings 220 V/380 V and 240 V/415 V have been replaced by a single rating of
230 V/400 V.
For a 20-year transitional period until the year 2003, a + 6 %/- 10 % tolerance corresponding to 244 V and 207 V has been
established for countries that used the voltage rating 220 V/380 V. For countries that used the voltage rating 240 V/415 V,
a + 10 %/- 6 % tolerance corresponding to 253 V and 216 V is applicable. Establishing mains tolerances until the year
2003 ensures that electronic equipment designed for the old voltages will function safely until the end of their service life.
Starting in 2003, voltage ratings will be expanded to + 10 %/- 10 % in all countries.
Refer to technical data section on Preventa modules for voltage tolerances.
