CA6Y2-115-22-✱-LW becomes CA6Y2-115-22-✱-PW. Control wiring is not
included.
Ordering Instructions ➋ “-EI” designates contactor with Electronic Interface coil.
➌ One NC auxiliary contact on each contactor is used for electrical interlocking.
Specify Catalog Number ➍ Other voltages available, see page A134-A135.
See Coil Codes ➎ HP selection based on UL508 for Industrial Applications.
Replace (✱) with Coil Code
on this page. ➏ HP selection based on CSA Elevator Duty Ratings.

Conventional 3-lead DC Coil
Notes
1) The CA6 conventional DC coil has dual windings with three leads brought out.
One winding is the “pick-up” winding and the other is the “holding” winding.
The coil also has a built-in voltage limiting varistor (Z1).
2) The pick-up winding has low resistance while the holding winding has a
higher resistance.
3) When the control circuit is energized, the contactor “pulls-in” through the
lower resistance pick-up winding and the NC late break auxiliary contact. After
the contactor seals in, the late break contact opens and the contactor is held
in through the holding winding.
4) The pick-up winding is not designed for continuous operation and must be
disconnected by the “late break” contact immediately after the contactor
pulls-in.
