General Information
IEC contactor utilization catagories
Contactors designed for international applications are tested and
rated per IEC 947-4. The IEC rating system is broken down into
different utilization categories that
define the value of the current
that the contactor must make,
maintain, and break. The following category definitions are the
most commonly used for IEC
Contactors.
Ratings for Siemens contactors
per these categories can be
found in Section 3.
AC Categories
AC-1
This applies to all AC loads
where the power factor is at least
0.95. These are primarily noninductive or slightly inductive
loads. Breaking remains easy.
AC-3
This category applies to squirrel
cage motors where the breaking
of the power contacts would
occur while the motor is running.
On closing, the contactor experiences an inrush which is 5 to 8
times the nominal motor current,
and at this instant, the voltage at
the terminals is approximately
20% of the line voltage. Breaking
remains easy.
AC-4
This applies to the starting and
breaking of a squirrel cage motor
during an inch or plug reverse.
On energization, the contactor
closes on an inrush current
approximately 5 to 8 times the
nominal current. On de-energization, the contactor breaks the
same magnitude of nominal current at a voltage that can be
equal to the supply voltage.
Breaking is severe.
Special Contactor Utilization Categories

Some contactors also have ratings for the
following specialty utilization categories.
DC Categories
DC-1
This applies to all DC loads
where the time constant (L/R) is
less than or equal to one msec.
These are primarily noninductive
or slightly inductive loads.
DC-2
This applies to the breaking of
shunt motors while they are running. On closing, the contactor
makes the inrush current around
2.5 times the nominal rated current. Breaking is easy.
DC-3
breaking of a shunt motor during
inching or plugging. The time
constant shall be less than or
equal to 2 msec. On energization, the contactor sees current
similar to that in Category DC-2.
On de-energization, the contactor
will break around 2.5 times the
starting current at a voltage that

may be higher than the line voltage. This would occur when the
speed of the motor is low
because the back e.m.f. is low.
Breaking is severe.
DC-5
breaking of a series motor during
inching or plugging. The time
constant being less than or equal
to 7.5 msec. On energization, the
contactor sees about 2.5 times
the nominal full load current. On
de-energization, the contactor
breaks the same amount of current at a voltage which can be
equal to the line voltage.
Breaking is severe.

Full load ampere ratings of

motors vary depending upon a
number of factors. The full load
currents listed above are average values for horsepower rated
motors of several manufacturers
at the most commonly rated voltages and speeds. These average values along with the similar
values listed in the N.E.C. should
be used as a guide only for
selecting suitable components
for the motor branch circuit. The
rated full load current shown on
19/8
the motor nameplate may vary

considerably from the listed
value, depending on the specified motor design.
Note: RPM shown for 60Hz motors.
For 50Hz motors, multiply the 60HZ
FLA value by 1.2.

Multi-Speed Controllers: Each
speed requires a separate set of

overloads. The adjustment range
must be selected on the basis of
the full-load current for each particular speed.
Part-Winding Controllers: Each
winding of the motor must have
its own set of overloads. The
adjustment range should be
selected on the basis of one-half
the motor full-load current; that is,
the full load current of each winding current.
Wye-Delta Controllers: Only one

set of overloads is required.
Since the overload relay is located electrically inside the delta
connection, the adjustment
range must be selected on the
basis of the full-load motor current (delta connection) divided
by 1.73.
Single Phase: See page 8/150
for ampere ratings of single

phase AC induction motors.

Fault-Current Calculation on
Low-Voltage AC Systems
In order to determine the maximum interrupting rate of the circuit breakers in a distribution system, it is necessary to calculate the
current which could flow under a threephase bolted short circuit condition. For a
three-phase system the maximum available
fault current at the secondary side of the
transformer can be obtained by use of the
formula:

Connection Technology
Spring loaded terminal technique
Spring Loaded Terminals
As an alternative to screw-type terminals, many products may be supplied with spring loaded terminals. With this screwless connection technique, the wires are
clamped securely against shock and vibration by a spring clamp. Solid, stranded and finely-stranded wires can be connected with or without
end sleeves.
Each terminal connection is equipped with two independently operated spring clamps. Each spring can accept one wire. The clamping force of the spring
automatically adjusts to the size of the wire and compensates for any deformation of the wire, such as settling of the strands. The flat clamping face of the
spring presses the wire against the current bar without damaging the wire. To prevent stranded or finely-stranded wire from being divided, the end can be
tinned or amalgamated using ultrasound.
The terminal is opened by inserting the screwdriver. The wire is then inserted and will remain clamped after the screwdriver is removed (see below).
The chromium-nickel steel of the spring clamp provides corrosion-resistant contact of the wire-end in the clamp.
Advantages:
Quick: The connection is made easily without the need to add on wire end sleeves or torque down terminal screwsreducing wiring time
Reliable: The terminal is gas-tight and resistant to shock and vibrationfor maximum contact reliability
Maintenance-free: With the spring loaded terminals, there is no need to inspect the connections following transporteliminating time-consuming
and costly inspection
Step 1:
Insert screwdriver;
spring opens.
Step 2:
The screwdriver holds the spring open;
insert the wire.
Step 3:
Remove the screwdriver; the spring
closes and the wire is securely clamped.

conditions of sale (10/1/2004)
1. WARRANTY - (a) Seller warrants that on the date of shipment the goods are of
the kind and quality described herein and are free of non-conformities in workmanship
and material. This warranty does not apply to goods delivered by Seller but
manufactured by others.
(b) Buyer's exclusive remedy for a nonconformity in any item of the goods shall be the
repair or the replacement (at Seller's option) of the item and any affected part of the
goods. Seller's obligation to repair or replace shall be in effect for a period of one (1)
year from initial operation of the goods but not more than eighteen (18) months from
Seller's shipment of the goods, provided Buyer has sent written notice within that
period of time to Seller that the goods do not conform to the above warranty. Repaired
and replacement parts shall be warranted for the remainder of the original period of
notification set forth above, but in no event less than 12 months from repair or
replacement. At its expense, Buyer shall remove and ship to Seller any such
nonconforming items and shall reinstall the repaired or replaced parts. Buyer shall
grant Seller access to the goods at all reasonable times in order for Seller to
determine any nonconformity in the goods. Seller shall have the right of disposal of
items replaced by it. If Seller is unable or unwilling to repair or replace, or if repair or
replacement does not remedy the nonconformity, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate an
equitable adjustment in the contract price, which may include a full refund of the
contract price for the nonconforming goods.
(c) SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, EXCEPT THAT OF TITLE. SPECIFICALLY, IT DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
COURSE OF DEALING AND USAGE OF TRADE.
(d) Buyer and successors of Buyer are limited to the remedies specified in this article
and shall have no others for a nonconformity in the goods. Buyer agrees that these
remedies provide Buyer and its successors with a minimum adequate remedy and are
their exclusive remedies, whether Buyer's or its successors' remedies are based on
contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability, indemnity, or any other
legal theory, and whether arising out of warranties, representations, instructions,
installations, or non-conformities from any cause.
(e) Note: This article 1 does not apply to any software which may be furnished by
Seller. In such cases, the attached Software License Addendum applies.
2. PATENTS - Seller shall pay costs and damages finally awarded in any suit against
Buyer or its vendees to the extent based upon a finding that the design or construction
of the goods as furnished infringes a United States patent (except infringement
occurring as a result of incorporating a design or modification at Buyer's request),
provided that Buyer promptly notifies Seller of any charge of infringement, and Seller
is given the right at its expense to settle such charge and to defend or control the
defense of any suit based upon such charge. Seller shall have no obligation hereunder
with respect to claims, suits or proceedings, resulting from or related to, in whole or in
part, (i) the use of software or software documentation, (ii) compliance with Buyer's
specifications, (iii) the combination with, or modification of, the goods after delivery by
Seller, or (iv) the use of the goods, or any part thereof, in the practice of a process.
THIS ARTICLE SETS FORTH SELLER'S ENTIRE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO
PATENTS.
3. PERFORMANCE; DELAYS - Timely performance by Seller is contingent upon
Buyer's supplying to Seller, when needed, all required technical information and data,
including drawing approvals, and all required commercial documentation. If Seller
suffers delay in performance due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, the time
of performance shall be extended a period of time equal to the period of the delay and
its consequences. Seller will give to Buyer notice within a reasonable time after Seller
becomes aware of any such delay.
4. SHIPMENT, TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS - Unless the delivery terms of this
contract expressly provide for F.O.B. destination, shipping/delivery will be F.O.B.

Buyer at that point. Buyer will be responsible for shipment during transit and for filing
any damage or loss claims directly with the carrier. Seller may make partial
shipments.
5. TAXES - Any applicable duties or sales, use, excise, value-added or similar taxes
will be added to the price and invoiced separately (unless an acceptable exemption
certificate is furnished).
6. TERMS OF PAYMENT - (a) Unless otherwise stated, all payments shall be in
United States dollars, and a pro rata payment shall become due as each shipment is
made. If shipment is delayed by Buyer, date of notice of readiness for shipment shall
be deemed to be date of shipment for payment purposes.

proposal. Any change to any law, rule, regulation, order, code, standard or
requirement which requires any change hereunder shall entitle Seller to an equitable
adjustment in the prices and any time of performance.
(c) If any time in Seller's judgment Buyer is unable or unwilling to meet the terms
specified, Seller may require satisfactory assurance or full or partial payment as a
