Which contactors are suited for capacitor bank switching?

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.

What is the maximum thermal current a capacitor can withstand?

Standard IEC 60831-1 Edition 2002 specifies that the capacitor must therefore have a maximum thermal current I Tof: I T= 1.3 x 1.15 x I n= 1.5 x I n 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:
