The performances given in this catalogue have been All contactors can be mounted with a ± 30° inclination to the
TC of contactors established with contactors mounted on a vertical plane with vertical axis of the contactor without any derating. For BF

downwards. with the terminals are facing towards left and right.

On the average, a 5% increase of the minimum pick-up naval registers.

ON HORIZONTAL PLANE (FOR BF SERIES CONTACTORS)

Considerable performance variations can be noted. The variables which could influence the contactor
It is necessary to check the two possible mounting positions: performance, in addition to the two mounting positions, are:
– when the contactor is energised, the movable equipment – type of contactor
moves upwards. – type of control
– when the contactor is energised, the movable equipment – contact configuration
moves downwards. – number and type of add-on blocks
In the first case, it is difficult to close the contactor while in – permissible tolerance of auxiliary voltage variation
the second, to open it. – ambient temperature.
NOTE: Position B is not recommendable.

Our Customer Service (Tel. +39-0354282422) can provide

further information concerning operational performances of
contactors mounted on a horizontal plane.

DYNAMIC TYPE TESTS

Our contactors have sustained dynamic testing, with contactor mounting position rotated ± 22.5° in respect to the three
orthogonal axes.

Utilisation CHOICE CRITERIA The poles in series can be connected to one single polarity
The elements to be considered for the contactor choice are: or divided between the two polarities of the circuit

-- Utilisation category and L/R time constant figures 3 and 4 are not recommendable since voltage drops
Pole characteristics -- Eventual verification of electrical life. can take place. In these cases, it is better to use poles in
parallel considering the notes given in the following section.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Indicated current is valid for:
-- Ambient temperature ≤ 55°C
-- Operating cycles: up to 120 cy/h with 60% on-load factor
up to 250 cy/h with 30% on-load factor.
POLES IN SERIES
It is important to use contactors with the indicated number
of poles in series depending on operating voltage.

Examples of poles in series:

1 POLE 2 POLES 3 POLES 4 POLES

Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4

POLES IN PARALLEL
It is possible to increase the electrical life by placing poles in The value can be obtained by multiplying the rated current of
series when using voltages which require 1 or 2 poles in one pole by the K factor given below; e.g.: if one pole carries
parallel. 10A, three poles in parallel can carry 10 x 2.2 = 22A.
Poles in parallel do not increase the maximum operational Therefore, the operating current is the one indicated in the
current given in the following pages; that is, if one pole has tables, multiplied by the K factor given below which takes
a maximum operational current in DC5 of 8A, two poles in into consideration the unequal current division on the
parallel, it will always be 8A. various poles.
With poles in parallel, it is possible to increase the rated 2 POLES in parallel K = 1.6
contact capacity (Ith) only if the contactor opens and closes 3 POLES in parallel K = 2.2
in no-load conditions or when used as resistance shunts. 4 POLES in parallel K = 2.8
In this case, the contact capacity can be increased.
