Hence, selection of capacitor duty switching device requires careful product selection. It is always recommended to use These contactors are fitted with front- mounted block of 3 early make auxiliary contact in series with quick discharge damping six-resistors-2 per phase to limit
Selection of the contactor is basically unimportant as the VFDs will look almost like a resistive load to a contactor. You can simply add up the Input Amps of the VFDs involved and select a contactor based on AC-1 ratings (if you are using the IEC method). If you are using NEMA contactors, size based on the resistive load capability
The document discusses guidelines for selecting step sizes and the number of steps in automatic power factor correction (APFC) panels. It recommends: - Using a maximum step size of 100kVAr to limit inrush currents and voltage
Contactors for Capacitor Switching - Selection examples The information given on pages 5 and 6 will enable the user to calculate current peaks and to limit them to a value acceptable for the contactor. Since this calculation is never exact, capacitor bank manufacturers optimise their products by tests. Possibility no. 1 as per table on page 4
Contactor selection Heating The choice of the contactor depends on the mechanical endurance (number of operations) and on the electrical heating load i.e. resistive elements, infra-red element, convectors.
