Utilization
Typical Application
Category

DC-23 Switching of highly inductive loads (i.e. series motors)

Below are the most commonly used utilization categories.

AC-1
These are primarily non-inductive loads or loads having a
power factor greater than 0.95. Making and breaking for these
loads are easier. Example: Resistive heaters,.

AC-3
AC-3 category primarily applies to squirrel cage induction
motors. These motors have an inrush current of 5 to 8 times its
rated current during start. At that instant, the terminal voltage
may drop to 20% of the line voltage. Therefore contactors
manufactured for AC-3 loads should be capable of such a high
current. The breaking can be easy.

AC-4
Like the AC-3 category, AC-4 is also applied to start and
breaking of squirrel cage induction motors. But in this case,
the breaking is more severe than that of the AC-3 category.
This category applies to induction motors that require inching
or plugging operations.
