AF 50 ... AF 110 3-pole Contactors
a.c. / d.c. Operated - Large Voltage Range
Electronic Coil Interface
Application
AF 50 ... AF 110 contactors are mainly used for controlling 3-phase motors and generally for controlling power circuits up to 690 V a.c. and 220 V d.c.
The contactors can also be used for many other applications such as bypass, capacitor switching, lighting, d.c. power circuits...
The AF... contactors are fitted with an electronic coil interface which accepts a wide control voltage range, on a.c. 50/60 Hz or d.c. supplies. The same
contactor can accept various supply voltages according to different countries where the final machine will be used or some fluctuation in the control
voltage due to the local supply or network.
The AF... contactors are also fully suitable for operation in a.c. or d.c. control circuit liable to voltage interruptions or voltage dip risks.
Description
The AF 50 ... AF 110 3-pole contactors are of the block type design.
– 3 main poles,
● Electronic control:
The contactors are fitted with an electronic interface that very precisely controls the voltage to the coil. The electronic control circuit always works
using d.c. current through the coil and in a.c. operation the current is rectified before being applied to the coil. To achieve the levels of the currents
required for making and holding respectively, the voltage is pulsed across the coil with the aid of a transistor. The pulsing also implies that the current
in the coil can be optimally regulated all the time relatively independently of the voltage level. The function is controlled by a specific integrated circuit
developed by ABB.
Advantages
– Wide voltage range, e.g. 100 ... 250 V a.c. and d.c.,
– Can manage large voltage variations,
– Reduced power consumption,
– Very distinct closing and opening,
– Noise free,
– Can withstand voltage interruptions or voltage dips in the control supply (< 20 ms).
● Accessories: a wide range of accessories is available (☞ next pages and section 4).

Contactors for Capacitor Switching
AC-6b Utilization Category according to IEC 60947-4-1
Capacitor Transient Conditions

In Low Voltage industrial installations, capacitors are mainly used for reactive energy correction (raising the power factor). When these capacitors
are energized, overcurrents of high amplitude and high frequencies (3 to 15 kHz) occur during the transient period (1 to 2 ms).
The amplitude of these current peaks, also known as "inrush current peaks", depends on the following factors:
● The network inductances.
● The transformer power and short-circuit voltage.
● The type of power factor correction.
There are 2 types of power factor correction: fixed or automatic.
Fixed power factor correction consists of inserting, in parallel on An automatic power factor correction system, on the other hand,
the network, a capacitor bank whose total power is provided by the consists of several capacitor banks of identical or different ratings
assembly of capacitors of identical or different ratings. (several steps), energized separately according to the value of the
The bank is energized by a contactor that simultaneously supplies power factor to be corrected.
all the capacitors (a single step). An electronic device automatically determines the power of the steps
The inrush current peak, in the case of fixed correction, can reach to be energized and activates the relevant contactors.
30 times the nominal current of the capacitor bank. The inrush current peak, in the case of automatic correction, de-
pends on the power of the steps already on duty, and can reach
100 times the nominal current of the step to be energized.
E1178D
E1179D
Fixed power factor correction Automatic power factor correction
Steady State Condition Data

The presence of harmonics and the network's voltage tolerance lead to a current, estimated to be 1.3 times the nominal current In of the capacitor,
permanently circulating in the circuit.
Taking into account the manufacturing tolerances, the exact power of a capacitor can reach 1.15 times its nominal power.
Standard IEC 831-1 Edition 04/97 specifies that the capacitor must therefore have a maximum thermal current IT of:
IT = 1.3 x 1.15 x In = 1.5 x In
Consequences for the Contactors

To avoid malfunctions (welding of main poles, abnormal temperature rise, etc.), contactors for capacitor bank switching must be sized to withstand:
● A permanent current that can reach 1.5 times the nominal current of the capacitor bank.
● The short but high peak current on pole closing (maximum permissible peak current Î ).

Application
The A... and AF... contactors are suited for capacitor bank switching for the peak current and power values in the table below.
The kvar ratings acc. to the table below are applicable to "star" connected capacitors (less current, cable savings).
The capacitors must be discharged (maximum residual voltage at terminals < 50 V) before being re-energized when the contactors are making.
In these conditions, electrical durability of contactors is equal to 100 000 operating cycles.

UA...-R 3-pole Contactors
Peak Current Î > 100 Times the rms Current
Application
The UA ...-R contactors can be used in installations in which peak current far exceeds 100 times nominal rms current. The contactors are delivered
complete with their damping resistors and must be used without additional inductances (☞ table below).
Their electrical durability is 250 000 operating cycles for Ue < 500 V and 100 000 operating cycles for Ue > 500 V.
Description
The UA…-R contactors are fitted with a special front-mounted block ensuring the serial insertion in the circuit of damping resistors limiting current
peak on energizing of the capacitor bank. Their connection also ensures capacitor precharging in order to limit the second current peak occurring
on making of the main poles a few milliseconds later.
Operating principle
The front-mounted block mechanism of the UA…-R contactors alternately ensures early making and breaking of the auxiliary "PA" poles with respect
to the main "PP" poles of the contactor.
When the coil is energized, the early making auxiliary poles connect When the coil is de-energized, early breaking of the auxiliary poles

GA 75, GAE 75 Contactors for d.c. Switching
Application
GA 75 and GAE 75 contactors are designed for d.c. circuit switching.
Arc suppression is more difficult in d.c. than in a.c. To choose a contactor, it is necessary to know the current and voltage to be broken as well as
the L/R time constant of the power circuit to be controlled.
For your information, here are some typical time constant values:
DC-1: non inductive loads such as resistance furnaces: ............ L/R ~ 1 ms,
DC-3: shunt motors: .................................................................... L/R ~ 2 ms,
DC-5: series motors: ................................................................... L/R ~ 7.5 ms.
Remark: the addition of a resistor in parallel with an inductive winding makes arc suppression easier.

Connection Diagrams
In d.c. circuits, the source to earth (or frame) connection mode is an important element.
Three modes are mainly used:
A – insulated source, i.e. unearthed (or not connected to the frame),
B – source earthed via its central point,
C – source earthed via one of its outer poles.
Modes A and B do not impose any constraints with regard to the distribution of the contactor poles between the
two source / load connecting branches. Mode C requirements are therefore suitable for modes A and B.
For mode C, all the poles necessary for breaking must be installed in series between the load and the
unearthed (also not connected to the frame) source polarity.
We recommend this solution for all connection modes.
The above provisions relate to power circuit switching, the SCPD (Short-Circuit Protection Device) must comply
with protection rules.

Application
These contactors provide a safety function in those circuits where standard contactors would drop out in the

This type of contactor is particularly suitable for industrial processes where voltage sags have heavy
B A consequences and is totally immune to voltage dips.
15x A2 23x
+ - + Description
Block diagram
The AM... magnetically latched contactors are very similar in construction and dimensions to the A... standard
contactors of equal rating. Only the electro-magnet and coil have a specific design in order to achieve the
latching and de-latching operations.
The operating coil is built with 3 connecting terminals and 2 windings (i1 - i2) which, when energized, create
two magnetic fields of opposite strength (☞ block diagram).
The coil windings must be energized from a d.c. supply, polarity (+ and -) must be observed.
Operation
– Contactor closing i.e. latching via "B" circuit. The contactor is held in closed position due to the circuit
remanency.
– Contactor opening, i.e. de-latching via "A" circuit.
– On closing and opening the coil windings are automatically controlled and briefly energized through
"B" (N.C.) and "A" (N.O.) auxiliary contacts.
The contactors have two resting positions: closed position and open position.
Changeover from one position to another is achieved by impulses on the coil with a minimum duration of
100 ms.
Coil operating limits: 0.85 ... 1.1 Uc
Technical Data
Same technical data as for the AE... contactors (☞ page 2/60) with the exception of:
– coil consumption: 210 W on latching, and 45 W on de-latching.
– mounting positions: position 5 is prohibited (☞ page 2/68).

Star-Delta Starting
of Three-Phase Asynchronous Motors
General
When starting, the motor has to overcome the load torque and inertia of the driven machine. During this phase, current must remain
within the limits acceptable by the mains.
Inertia, load torque and mains are commonly fixed data.
Although the type of starting reduces the inrush current as required, it also reduces the torque supplied by the motor. The result is a starting time
that varies according to the starting process used.
Star-delta starting
Technical Data
I T
/In /Tn When starting:
7
– inrush current is reduced to a third of direct starting current,
I = current; In = nominal current
T = torque; Tn = nominal torque
– motor torque is reduced to a third or even less of direct starting torque.
6 Transient currents are commonly read during star-delta switching.
I (delta)
Utilization
5 During the initial starting phase ("star" connection), the resistive torque of
the driven machine must remain, irrespective of speed, less than the "star"
motor torque until "star-delta" switching occurs.
4 This starting mode is therefore ideal for machines with no-load starting:
– machine-tools,
– centrifugal compressors,
3
– wood working machines, etc.
In order to prevent a high current peak, at least 80 - 85 % of nominal
T (moto
2 r) speed must be reached before switching from star to delta.
I (sta
r) Precautions
Motor nominal voltage in delta connection must be equal to that of the
E0899DG
1
T (motor) mains.
Tr (resistive torque)
Example:
0 20 40 60 80 100 A motor for 400 V star-delta starting must be designed for 400 V in "delta"
Motor speed (%) connection. Its usual designation is "400 V / 690 V motor". The motor must
be constructed with 6 terminal windings.
Sequence
Starting is a three-stage process:
1st stage - "Star" connection
Press the "On" button on the control circuit to close the KM2 "star" contactor. The KM1 "line" contactor then closes and the motor starts. Countdown
of programmed starting time (normally 6 to 10 s) then begins.
2nd stage - "Star" to "Delta" switching
When the programmed starting time is over, the KM2 "star" contactor opens.
3rd stage - "Delta" connection
A transition time (or dwelling time) of 50 ms is fixed between opening of the "star" contactor and closing of the "delta" contactor by the use of TE5S
timer. This prevents short circuit between "star" and "delta".
Note: When AF... contactor types are used as delta and star contactors or an A... contactor as star contactor with an AF... contactor as delta contactor, the use of a timer including a dwelling time
(or transition time) e.g. TE5S or similar is not necessary. A timer set for the starting duration in star connection is enough. An electrical interlock between star and delta is mandatory such as VE 5
or through auxiliary contacts.
Furthermore, in open transition, the current interruption may reach up to 95 ms: it shall be checked that this duration is compatible with the application i.e. mainly if the decreasing in rotation speed
is acceptable during the starting phase.

Control of Three-Phase Slip-Ring Motors
Contactor Selection
General
Three kinds of contactors are used to control three-phase slip-ring motors: the stator contactor, the acceleration contactor(s) and the rotor short-
circuit contactor. Refer to the diagram opposite.
The selection tables below concern complete smooth starting, excluding specific cases, such as: intermittent operation, regenerative current,
controlled slipping, etc. for which you need to consult our specialised departments.
The starting and breaking technical data for slip-ring motors are defined in standard IEC 60947-4-1 in the AC-2 utilization category.
Operating cycle
The load factor is defined by the equation: L. F. (%) = x 100
Cycle time (Operating cycle + Rest cycle)
Stator Contactor
Closing of the starting current, conditioned by the value of the rotor resistances: it may reach 1.5 to 4 times rated motor operational current.

Autotransformer Starters
Contactor Selection
General
Electrical distribution
An autotransformer starter allows to start a
squirel cage motor with a reduced starting
current due to the reduced voltage within the
accelerating duration.
At the contrary of the Star-Delta wiring, this
autotransformer starting method needs three
wires and three terminals on the motor.
At the starting period, the motor is wired to the KM1 KM2
autotransformer taps: the Star Contactor "KM3"
and the Autotransformer Contactor "KM2" are
closed, the motor is under reduced voltage.
Consequently, the torque is reduced as the
square of the applied voltage. The
autotransformers are generally equipped of
three taps at each phase in order to adapt the
starting parameters to the field requirements.
T1
When the motor reaches 80 ... 95% of its Autotransformer
nominal speed, the Star Contactor opens. Then,
the Line Contactor "KM1" is making and the
Autotransformer Contactor is opening. This
starting process is done without any network
interruption.

Lighting Circuit Switching
Contactor Selection
General
Contactor selection criteria for control of lighting circuits are as follows:
– type, power rating and number of lamps,
– connection mode,
– current values on closing and in steady state,
– power factor,
– presence or not of correction capacitors.
Lighting circuits
In a given circuit, the number and power rating of lamps are defined and cannot result in overload. Only short-circuit protection has to be provided.
gG fuses or modular circuit-breakers will be chosen for this purpose.
The lamps have very specific technical data, according to their construction type.
– Incandescent lamps have a very high current on closing: more than 15 times nominal current.
They do not introduce a large phase displacement between current and voltage.
– Fluorescent tubes are equipped with a ballast whose purpose is two-fold: contribute to ignition and limit current to nominal value once steady state
is reached. This ballast is a reactor that considerably lowers the power factor. It may or may not be compensated.

Selection of Contactors
The following tables indicate, for each contactor type, the maximum permissible number of lamps per phase. Air temperature, near the contactor,
must be limited to 55 °C.
Numbers are given for a 230 V voltage distributed between phase and neutral: single-phase (phase + neutral) or three-phase (3 phases + neutral)
distribution, lamps are wired in star connection.
In the case of a three-phase supply without neutral, 230 V phase-to-phase, the permissible number of lamps per phase will be that given in the tables
multiplied by 0.58.
Example: 120 x 100W / 230V incandescent lamps - 400 V three-phase network with distributed neutral.
Calculate the number of lamps per phase: 120 : 3 = 40. On the 100 W line of the incandescent lamp table, contactor A12 is limited
to 38 lamps per phase, you must thus select contactor A 16 which accepts up to 42 lamps per phase.
The selection table for A 50 ... A 110 contactors can be used for the AF 50 ... AF 110 types.
The selection table for AE 50 ... AE 110 contactors can be used for the TAE 50 ... TAE 110 types.

d.c. Circuit Switching
A..., AF..., AE..., GA... and GAE... Contactor Selection
General
The arc switching on d.c. is more difficult than on a.c.
● 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).
Selection Table - After selection from the ratings quoted in the tables below, please refer to "Ordering Details" in this section.

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 defined in the IEC 60947-4-1 publication (☞ section 7 for more details), the operating voltage Ue and the pole coupling details.
Ampere values quoted in the tables below are valid for a -25 … +70 °C temperature close to the contactors, as long as the AC-1 Ampere values
(☞ page 2/62) for the corresponding ambient temperature are not exceeded.
● Max. switching frequency: 300 ops/h.
● For switching higher d.c. ratings, we recommend the use of bar mounted contactors, R series (63 … 2000 A).
● Accessories, ☞ section 4.

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 pages 2/84 ... 2/89, the curves corresponding to categories AC-1, AC-2, 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.
These curves have been plotted for 400 V - 50 Hz 3-phase currents but remain valid up to 690 V - 40 ... 60 Hz provided that a check is carried out
to make sure that at the operational voltage Ue , the current Ie normally drawn by the load does not exceed the value of the contactor rated operational
current: Ie / AC-1 for category AC-1 and Ie / AC-3 for categories AC-3 and AC-4. The values are given for each type of contactor in pages 2/62, 2/63,
2
2/73, and 2/79 (Technical Data).
For the AC-2 applications, the Ie values are given in the "stator contactor table", ☞ page 2/48
Technical Data
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, ☞ page 0/0).
– 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, ☞ 0/0).
– Breaking current for AC-3 .................................................................. Ic = Ie
– Breaking current for AC-4 while "motor accelerating" ........................ Ic = 6 x Ie
– Percentage of AC-4 operations ......................................................... 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 pages 2/62, 2/63, 2/73, and 2/79.
● For the selected contactor make a note of the following in relation to the voltage using diagram AC-3 page 2/85 and AC-4 page 2/86 or 2/87:
– 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)
A
N' =
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.

Among the different utilization categories, the uninterrupted duty implies the following remark. 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.
For long term service, some verifications of preventing maintenance are needed to check the functionality of the concerned product (consult us).
Over a duration of five years, in these conditions the contactor might present high internal resistance. We recommend to change the contactor or
change the contacts.

Influence of the Length of Conductors
used in Contactor Control Circuit
Under certain conditions the excessive length of the control circuit conductors may prevent the contactor from
carrying out closing and opening orders.
– no closing: due to excessive voltage drop (in a.c. or d.c.).
– no opening: due to excessive capacitance (in a.c.).
Contactor Closing (contactor with a.c. or d.c. fed control circuit)

The voltage drop is due to the pull-in current (pull-in power) and to the resistance of the control circuit
SB8075C2
conductors.
The table and graph below can be used to determine the single length of line feeders (distance between the
A 50-30-00 control device and the contactor coil) in relation to:
● the coil pull-in consumption.
● the supply voltage.
● the connecting wire cross-sectional area.
The graph has been drawn for a max. line voltage drop of 5 %.

Influence of the Length of Conductors
used in Contactor Control Circuit
Contactor Opening (contactor with a.c. fed control circuit)

Single control line length Under certain conditions, an a.c. operated contactor does not open when the control circuit is de-energized.
This is due to a critical capacity of the excessively long control circuit line and the type of contactor coil control
layout (see diagrams A and B opposite).
A841D
This may be caused by the following factors:
● high control voltage.
Wiring diagram A ● low coil holding consumption.
Via maintained pushbutton and 2-core
● low contactor drop-out voltage (according to IEC 60947-4-1: 0.2 to 0.75 x Uc).
cable (with a capacity of 0.2 µF/km, for
example). If lines longer than those indicated are required, the following measures must be taken:
● select a contactor with a higher rating.
● select a lower control voltage.
● connect "RP" impedances in parallel with the contactor coil:
