Operating Instructions
Contactor for capacitor switching
Type: 3TK41 with fuse type resistors.
Three Pre-charge resistors are
included.
Note: Do not remove precharging
resistors, as this may cause the
contacts to be damaged in
switching operations under the load.
Capacitor charging time < 3ms.

A. Technical Data
i) Main circuit :
The capacitors are precharged via
early-make contacts and integrated
pre-charge resistors before the main
contacts close.This combination
may be used for switching of
capacitor banks for p.f. correction of
single loads or in centralised group
p.f. correction system.
Insulation voltage Ui = 660 VAC
(pollution degree = 3)
Rated operating current

Maximum back-up fuse rating
(type 3NA1) as per IS 13947-4
(IEC 947-4) = 25 A for type 2
co-ordination.
ii) Auxiliary circuit:
Auxiliary contacts available =
1NO+1NC
le AC-15/AC-11 = 3.6 A
at 415 V AC.
le DC-13/DC-11 = 0.48 A
at 220 V DC.
iii) Control circuit:
Control voltage is marked on the
coil.
Note: The voltage to the coil is to
be maintained within allowable
limits.
In case the under voltage to the coil
is applied, it may lead to damage of
pre-charge resistors.
Coil operating range:
As per claimed band for wide
band AC Coils.
Coil consumption at 1.0 Uc,
50Hz.
During closing = 100VA, 0.82pf
When closed = 15VA, 0.29pf
Maximum back-up fuse rating for
control circuit
= 16A
= 6A if relay
contact is in the control circuit.
iv) Internal connection diagram:
Ref. fig. 1 for circuit diagram and
position of terminals.
Warning:
Hazardous Voltage can cause
Electric Shock and burns.
Disconnect Power before proceeding
with any work on this equipment
Avoid operation during under
voltage conditions.
Switch only onto discharged
capacitors.
Manual operation not
permitted for function testing.
The On - Off indication of contactor
is shown by the position indicator.
v) Weight
AC operated app. 490 g.
B. Installation
1. Permitted mounting positions
are as indicated in fig. 2.
