 general description

Rollarc type 400 A The Rollarc 400 contactor

is a basic device, without
equipment other than the closing
electromagnet
and the auxiliary contacts.
It is intended for qualified installers
to fit it with devices needed for its
operation (isolation, LV sockets,
C position indicator, etc.) and for the
safety of operating staff.
B
It is kept closed by the
D electromagnet hold---on coil that is
E continuously supplied.

M
The Rollarc 400 D contactor
with latching mechanism is the
same as the 400 type contactor,
except that it has a mechanical
latching mechanism with shunt
release.
Opening is caused by a brief
injection of power from the release.

The pressurised SF6 gas
inside the pole retains all its
dielectric properties after breaking.
Electrical durability is limited by
contact wear.
This wear depends on device use.
We draw your attention to the risk
of cleaning processes. consisting
of spraying solvents at high
pressure.
Disconnect the contactor
and remove the earth shield.
Remove the metal and neoprene
washers to replace them...
The main drawbacks of such
processes are.
H damage due to jet pressure and
impossibility of re---lubricating
inaccessible fixing points.
H risk of overheating due to
solvent presence on contact areas.
H elimination of special
protections.
If the insulating parts are dusty, it
is recommended that you remove

Connect the indicator lamp or a

Measure the coil air gap using a
thickness gauge.
Write down this measurement.
Proceed in the same manner for
poles 2 and 3.
If, for one or several measurements,
the value of the air gap is less than
