Utilization Categories 1
Contactors are most commonly used in applications concerning control of electric motors. They are used to
start, stop, reverse, jog and plug the motors depending upon the application requirement. Contactors along
with thermal overload relays also provide protection to the motor against overloads.
The most basic data required for contactor selection is the motor HP rating and it’s rated current. However
this data is alone not sufficient. The type of load, duty cycle of the load, switching frequency are some of the
factors that influence contactor selection. The switching capability of contactors is majorly dependent on the
type of application, and hence international standards (IEC 60947-4-1) specify utilization categories which
cover a broad range of applications. These utilization categories and the data associated with them are used
by manufacturers to establish contactor ratings.
1) AC-3 category may be used for occasional inching (jogging) or plugging for limited time periods such as
machine set-up: during limited time periods, the number of such operations should not exceed five per
minute or more than 10 in a ten minute period.
2) A hermetic refrigerant compressor motor is a combination consisting of a compressor and a motor, both of
which are enclosed in the same housing, with no external shaft or shaft seals, the motor operating in the
refrigerant.
The utilization categories most commonly encountered in contactor applications are AC-3 & AC-4
The making and breaking capacities of contactors are dependent on the utilization categories and the
standard specifies that the contactors or starters shall be capable of making and breaking currents without
failure under the conditions stated.

Where;
Ie = Rated Operational Current
Ue = Rated Operational Voltage
Ur = Recovery Voltage
Ic = making and breaking current
The starting current of a squirrel cage induction motor is 6 times while that of slip ring induction motor is 2.5 times
the rated current. Starting current in slip ring induction motor is less because of the higher rotor resistance in the
rotor circuit, which can be effectively removed in steps as the motor attains its rated speed.
Selection Criteria:
From the above table (a) it can be seen that, for AC-3 utilization category during normal operation the contactor
must be capable of making 6 times the rated current. The current that contactor must break, however remains the
rated current. This is because the AC-3 utilization category specifies that the motor is switched off after it starts
running.
In the case of AC-4 utilization category, the current, the contactor must be capable of making as well as breaking
remains 6 times the rated current. This is because AC-4 utilization category involves plugging and inching
operations, in which the motor is switched on and off frequently.
Hence it can be concluded that AC-4 utilization category is more severe than AC-3 and the switching capability of
contactors (Operating cycles/Hr) for AC-4 is lower than that of AC-3.
Table (b) specifies the values of currents the contactor must be capable of making or breaking under abnormal
conditions which occur occasionally. Here also it can be concluded that AC-4 utilization category is the most
severe among all the other utilization categories.
Also it can be seen that making and breaking capacities for AC-4 category is more than that of AC-3, clearly
highlighting that AC-4 is severe than AC-3.

03 Utilization categories
Selection Example:
Contactor must be selected such that the making and breaking capacities during both normal as well as
abnormal conditions must be within contactor making and breaking capacity.
Consider a 10 HP squirrel cage Induction motor with Direct On-Line (DOL) starting.
Rated Current of the motor In = 15A
Abnormal operation
Making current of the contactor = 10In = 150A
Breaking current of the contactor = 8In = 120A
Abnormal operation
Making current of the contactor = 12In = 180A
Breaking current of the contactor = 10In = 150A
Hence, in both cases, we can select MO18 which has Rated Current of 18A, Making Capacity of 450A and
Breaking Capacity of 350A which is higher than the abnormal making and breaking currents calculated
above.
Co-ordination under Short-circuit conditions 04
Motors are the backbone of the industry. Their use is also increasing in commercial establishments. Hence,
protection of motor is extremely important so as to keep these processes functioning safely and continuously.
The main purpose of motor protection system is to prevent excessive temperature built up in the windings
because of over-current and short-circuit current. Following are the reasons for over-current.
lOverloading.
lSingle phasing.
lOver-voltage.
IS 13947 (Part 4/Sec 1): 1993 / IEC Pub 60947-4-1 (2004) require that the thermal overload relay and SCPD
are co-ordinated to ensure that they operate satisfactorily under all load and fault conditions. Following
aspects need to be considered to achieve proper co-ordination.
l Discrimination between thermal overload relay & SCPD.
l Adequacy of short circuit protection.
What is co-ordination?
Co-ordination means matching the characteristics of SCPD and down stream equipment to ensure that the
let-through energy and peak cut-off current do not rise above the levels that the circuit can withstand.
As per the standard two types of co-ordination are permissible, Type “1” and “2”.
Type “1” co-ordination requires that under short-circuit conditions, the contactor or the starter shall cause no
danger to persons or installation. The motor feeder may not be suitable for further service without repair and
replacement of parts (Not remaining suitable is NOT a requirement and hence you may find separating in a
different sentence could avoid possibility of misconception)
Type “2” co-ordination requires that under short-circuit conditions, the contactor or the starter shall cause no
danger to persons or installation and shall be suitable for further use. However contact welding is
recognized. Also the time-current characteristics of the over load protection device should not change. This
in other words means safety, low down time and continued protection.
Test at Prospective current “r” is done to verify the performance under fault conditions practically possible at
the motor feeder end. These faults are normally associated with the motor and the associated feeder.
Prospective current “r” is specified according to the rated operational current (Ie, AC-3) of the feeder. If the
motor feeder is not specified according to utilization category AC-3, the prospective current “r” shall
correspond to the highest rated operational current for any utilization category claimed by the manufacturer.
The values are mentioned below.

315 < Ie <= 630 18

1000 < Ie <= 1600 42
Test at Conditional short-circuit current Iq is carried out to verify the performance under system level faults.
Iq is declared by the manufacturer. This is the maximum fault current that the feeder can withstand. Generally the
declared value of Iq is 50 kA.
S-D-F, which incorporates H.R.C fuses, is the most efficient and popular in the industry. S-D-F, like conventional
fuse-switch units, is capable of switching and protecting electrical circuits. In addition these are also suitable for
isolating down stream equipment. MCCB was primarily used for protection of distribution circuits. However, with
the development of current limiting MCCBs, it has become possible to employ MCCBs in motor feeders also.
With the availability of various accessories, MCCB as SCPD offers several advantages.
MPCB can be used in two ways. It can be used directly for switching of a motor. This is very cost effective.
However downside is limited electrical life of MPCB compared to that of a contactor. Moreover, a separate
undervoltage protection is required. Alternately, MPCB can be used along with a contactor. Since, MPCB
combines thermal as well as short circuit protection, it will trip and interrupt even small overloads (which
otherwise could be interrupted by a contactor).

In case of open transition star-delta starting (most common practice), it’s an established fact that the transient
current peaks during change-over from star to delta are in the order of 18 times the line current (In). As the
maximum magnetic threshold of a MPCB is 14In and as it is a current peak sensing device, such conditions will
definitely lead to nuisance tripping of MPCBs during change-over from star to delta mode. Both the above facts
i.e. 18 times transient peak and nuisance tripping of MPCB have been verified through inhouse tests as well.
Hence, to avoid nuisance tripping, it is technically correct to increase the MPCB rating for star/delta starting so
that the ratio of instantaneous release setting to the motor full load current is at least 18. However, this will lead to
loss in thermal overload protection offered by the MPCB (as the MPCB rating will be higher than the full load
current of the motor). This aspect can be addressed by providing an additional thermal overload relay in the
phase circuit.
In case of close transition, the change over from star to delta will take place through three resistors. These
resistors do not allow full line voltage to appear across the motor terminal and also there will be no break in the
supply to the motor. Hence, there will be no jerk to the motor and transient current peaks will also get eliminated.
Summarising
Effective motor protection should protect motor and the associated feeder against any overcurrent including
short circuit current. More and more users demand Type ‘2’ coordination because it helps to ensure a safe
working environment. In view of down times and maintenance costs, though Type ‘2’ co-ordination has higher
initial costs, in the long term will prove economical. Manufacturer having all the products in its product portfolio is
better place to recommend the combinations for proper Type ‘2’ co-ordination.

07 Standard Coil Voltages and their Applications
Coils with rated voltage of 240V are the most widely used coils in Industrial and commercial applications. 240V
single phase-neutral supply can be easily derived from a 415V Three Phase Four Wire system by connecting
across one phase and neutral point (415/sqrt(3)=240). Since this distribution system is prevalent across many
industrial applications, 240V coils find their application in majority of contactor applications. Common
applications are industrial motor feeder systems. Also, in most of the industrial installations voltage values are
quite stable and variations are limited. Hence in such systems with very less voltage fluctuations, it is viable to go
for 240V coil with a standard coil band of 80% to 110% of rated coil voltage.
220V
220V coils are generally preferred in applications where the available supply is slightly less than the rated voltage
of 240V. In such applications it is advisable to go for a 220V coil because one gets a lower value of pick up voltage
as compared to 240V. For example for a 240V coil the coil band would be 156 - 288V. If one goes for a 220V coil
then the available coil band is 143 - 264V. This takes care of the slight fluctuation in voltage which is below the
band specified for 240V or a consistent low voltage.
415V
415V coils are used when there is a possibility of neutral floating condition affecting contactor operation. Neutral
floating arises when the neutral is not properly grounded or ground connection is completely broken.
Conventional distribution systems are three phase four wire systems in which individual single phase systems
are derived from a three phase supply. In such cases the neutral is grounded and ideally must be at zero
potential. In a perfectly balanced three phase four wire systems, loss of neutral conductor will not cause any
abnormal voltage variation on connected single phase loads. However this condition is extremely rare and there
is always some current flowing through the neutral owing to imbalances in the single phase loads. In such a
scenario a loss of neutral will lead to abnormal voltage variations across the connected single phase loads. The
extent of voltage variation will depend on the extent of unbalance in the single phase loads. However the
imbalance in voltages will not affect the line voltages and they will continue to be at 415V.
In such a scenario if one used 240V coils then they may get damaged due to over voltage condition arising out of
neutral floating. This problem can be efficiently eliminated by going for 415V coils as neutral floating condition
does not affect the line voltages. Hence the issue of coil burning due to neutral floating is completely eliminated.
Improper neutral grounding can lead to voltage rise and hence going for 415V coils is advisable.
Hence for all changeover application involving four Pole contactors (MCX Range) it is recommended to go for
415V coils. But, it should be noted that the allowable control cable length due to cable capacitance is lowest at
415V. (Refer application note: Guidelines on control cable lengths dated 12/07/2012)
360 or 380V
These coil voltages are mainly used in agricultural applications. In agriculture applications even though the rated
secondary of transformer is 415V, because of simultaneous running of loads leading to sustained voltage drop
and absence of voltage stablilizers, many of the users get voltages in the range of 360-380V. Since this voltage
levels are much lower than 415V special coils of 360 or 380 volts have to be designed specifically for agricultural
applications. These coils are restricted to applications where it is known that reduced voltage is available. These
coils don't find their applications in industrial applications where voltage supply is as per rated and stable. The
choice of 360V and 380V coils can be based on how low the supply voltage can dip to in that particular
installation. It is also to be noted that in such installation Phase to neutral voltage connection is not preferred for
coil voltages, due to the possible problem of neutral floating.
Standard Coil Voltages and their Applications 08
440V
These coil voltages are mainly used in Industrial applications, and there are chances of failure of coils due to
sustained high voltages These coils are restricted to applications where it is known that higher voltage is
available. These coils don't find their applications in industrial applications where voltage supply is rated and
stable.
110V
110V coils are generally used in applications where one wants to prevent any unauthorized start of the contactor.
For example in many applications, operating personnel tend to override the contactor drop command given by a
Distributed control system (DCS). This is mainly done by using easily available 240V single phase supply to on
the contactor. However if one uses 110V coils, it acts as an efficient deterrent against overriding DCS commands
as 240V supply to an 110V coil will damage the coil beyond repair. This acts as an efficient safety feature in the
system. It also efficiently isolates the coil supply from the main supply through a control transformer. 110V 60Hz
supply is also used mainly in western countries as 110V is much safer to operating personnel as compared to
240V. Also it should be noted that the allowable control cable length due to cable capacitance is highest at 110V.
(Refer application note: Guidelines on control cable lengths dated 12/07/2012)
24V DC
24V DC coils are mainly used in automation applications and in contactors which are used along with backup
supplies. In many process industries having the entire control through PLC one finds applications of 24V DC coil
contactors as 24V DC is predominantly required for PLC. Some of the contactors have low coil consumption coils
and can be directly actuated by the PLC without the use of an interface relay. PLC output, generally being
24V DC, DC coil voltage is required. 24V DC Coils are also largely used in battery backed up systems and UPS
applications. For example, in power plant a lot of critical equipment is kept on backup supply where actuation is
done through a DC coil contactor, 24 V DC being the most widely used.

09 Importance of using Surge Suppressor
Surge Suppressors are mainly used to suppress the voltage spikes or surges that occur whenever any inductive
load is de-energized.
A general schematic of a contactor and load is shown below. The contactor is operated by an electromagnetic coil
which is energized to close the contacts and de-energized to open them.

When the coil is de-energized its electromagnetic field collapses and being an inductive load it opposes this
sudden change by producing an Electromotive Force (EMF) given by,
di
E=L
dt
This is because the absolute change in current is very high and in a short duration of time. This coupled with high
inductance of the coil produces a voltage spike in the system. This voltage spike is of the order 8 to 10 times of the
rated coil voltage i.e. for a coil of rated voltage 240V AC the voltage surge can reach a value of around 2kV.
This voltage spike generated in the system has the potential to propagate to other components connected to the
same supply system. If the surge is not suppressed on time it will damage any sensitive electronic components
connected to the system.
Also if any counters or logic circuits are present in the system then the voltage spike will cause them to change
state momentarily, giving erroneous outputs. It may also damage the ICs beyond repair.
Hence it is very much imperative that the voltage spike is effectively dampened by absorbing the energy
associated with it. This is where a surge suppressor comes into the picture.
Importance of using Surge Suppressor 10
As we have seen above it is very necessary to clamp down the voltage spike as it produces damaging effects for
electronic components in the system.
A surge suppressor is a device which is connected in parallel with the coil. During normal operation the
suppressor does not conduct as the supply voltage is much below its breakdown voltage. When a switching
surge is generated the device starts conducting providing a parallel path to the excess current. This prevents the
surge from propagating in the system and at the same time the spike is effectively suppressed. The device then
automatically resets when the overvoltage goes away. This can be clearly understood by the schematic given
below,

In the normal mode, the device being protected If there is a voltage or current surge, the ideal
doesn’t experience voltage or current surge events protection device becomes a perfect short-circuit
so the ideal protection device remains open. path to ground to protect the load.
Just as de-energization of contactor coil produces a voltage spike, external voltage surges in the system can also
be damaging to the coil. In case of electronic coils like those in MNX 550-650 & MCX 45/46/47, external surges in
the system may also damage the sensitive electronic components. In such cases a surge suppressor also
protects the coil from external voltage surges.
RC surge suppressor is a resistor-capacitor in series combination which is in turn connected in parallel with the
coil. The capacitor absorbs the energy associated with voltage spike and the resistor controls the charging of the
capacitor. The values of resistor and capacitor are adjusted so as to provide efficient surge suppression.
MNX surge suppressors used with MNX contactor coils are RC surge suppressors

11 Importance of using Surge Suppressor
A Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) as the name suggests it is a voltage dependent resistor. The result is that an MOV
has a high resistance at low voltage and a low resistance at high voltage. The varistor is connected in parallel with
the coil and only conducts when the voltage across it is beyond the clamping voltage. Thus when a surge occurs
the varistor offers a low resistance path and efficiently discharges the surge. However the follow through current
resulting due to a voltage strike gradually degrades the varistor and hence MOVs degrade from repeated
exposure to surges.
Advantages
• No resonance.
• Usage in AC and DC circuit
• Superior price to performance ratio
• Capacity to conduct large surges
MOV surge suppressors are in-built in Electronic coils of MNX 550/650 and MCX 45/46/47.
The response time of a TVS diode is much faster than a MOV and hence it provides an efficient suppression
against fast and damaging voltage transients. Also unlike MOV a TVS diode is not degraded by surges within its
rating. However TVS has a relatively lower energy absorbing capability as compared to a MOV. Hence TVS
diodes are generally preferred for circuits with smaller current spikes.
Advantages
• Optical Muffling
• Faster response time
• No device degradation after prolonged use
• No change in breakdown potential
MDX DC contactors have diode surge suppressors. MDX 9-110 have inbuilt diode suppressor.

TVS Diodes have a significantly lower clamping voltage than the MOVs
As mentioned above MOV gets degraded due to repeated exposure to surges. This degradation greatly
impacts the leakage current, with varistor becoming more resistive after each over voltage while TVS diode
shows no such degradation
Device degradation also causes a shift in the breakdown voltage VBR. MOVs show a reduction in VBR after
each surge event while no such shift is observed in TVS diode.

13 Contactor selection for 60 Hz control supply applications
Contactor coils are designed for 50 Hz supply frequency as Indian power system typically operates at 50 Hz.
However we do get requirement for 60 Hz coils from the international market. In some situations where a
dedicated 60 Hz coil is not available, the requirement can be sufficed by using a 50 Hz coil at an appropriate
voltage. The same is explained in detail below,
AC electromagnetic system in a contactor is a constant flux system. The electromagnetic force produced is
directly proportional to the flux which in turn is a function of supply voltage, supply frequency and coil number of
turns.
A contactor coil designed for 50 Hz or 60 Hz application, for the same supply voltage, must produce the same
amount of force. Hence, to achieve this, the basic difference between a dedicated 50 Hz and 60 Hz coil for same
voltage is the number of turns. A 240V 60 Hz coil will have lower no of turns as compared to a 240V 50 Hz coil.
Since a 50 Hz coil will have different number of turns than a 60 Hz coil, in order to use the same 50 Hz coil for 60
Hz application, the parameter that must be maintained constant in order to produce the same force is V/f
Consider a requirement of a 240V 60 Hz coil. This requirement can be catered by a standard coil of 50 Hz such
that V/f ratio remains constant. Therefore,
V1 V2
=
¦1 ¦2
V60hz V50Hz
=
605 0
240 V50Hz
=
60 50
Hence V50Hz = (240 x 50)/60 = 200V
The nearest standard coil rating available is 220V 50 Hz. Applying the same principle of constant V/f ratio, the
new voltage of 220V 50 Hz coil at 60 Hz is 264V
If coil operating band is considered to be 80% to 110% of rated coil voltage, the operating limits of the coil at 60 Hz
will be considered at 264 V which turn out to be 211.2V to 290.4V
Hence a 220V 50 Hz coil can be used for a 240V 60 Hz application with a voltage band of 211.2 to 290.4V
The below table shows the new operating limits of the 50 Hz coil when used for 60 Hz applications
The following table gives the recommended 50 Hz coils to be used in 60 Hz applications for specified operating
band,
Hence when selecting a 50 Hz coil for 60 Hz application, one must ensure that the rated voltage is well within the
operating limits at 60 Hz and the permissible variation on the lower side must be communicated to the customer.

Selection of Contactors for AC-4 (Crane Duty)
15 Applications
Application Brief
Crane duty application is an example of AC-4 utilization category where the contactor is subjected to severe
Inching operations. This is the case when the motors are used in DOL configuration without Variable frequency
drives for speed and torque control. As such, Crane duty application is one of the most severe applications
greatly straining the contactor.
In the earlier days Slip ring motors dominated crane duty applications. However nowadays we find both squirrel
cage as well as slip ring induction motors being used for crane applications. With advent of Variable frequency
drives providing efficient Speed and torque control, the application becomes less severe for the contactors. This
is because all the switching needs are taken care by the VFD and the contactor can be selected as per AC-1
utilization category. However VFD is a costly proposition and in price driven markets like India, many still prefer to
use contactors in conventional configuration for their crane duty applications.
This application notes explains how one should go about selecting the contactors when VFD is not into the
picture. In such a scenario the contactor is expected to undergo severe inching operations and hence life of the
contactor becomes paramount selection criteria.
Selection of contactors based AC-4 Current Rating and Electrical Life Curves
As emphasized above, the life of the contactor is an important parameter and one must be clear about the life one
expects from the contactors when used for crane duty applications. Most of the crane duty manufacturers would
expect a certain fixed amount of life and this would then guide their contactor selection.
Power contactors usually have an AC-4 rating mentioned in the product catalogue. However the electrical life
given in Life curves is also an important criterion which influences contactor selection.
For example,
Consider MO32 Power Contactor. The rated AC-4 current of MO32 is 32A.

The Electrical life of MO 32 at 32A AC-4 is 50000. When a 32A contactor is used for 32A AC-4 application, one
gets an operation life of 50000 operating cycles. If the contactor does approximately 500 switching cycles per
week then the contactor will last for a period of 50000/500 = 100 weeks i.e. roughly 2 Years.
Selection of Contactors for AC-4 (Crane Duty)
Applications 16
Here the user must be aware of the approximate switching frequency that the contactors will be subjected too in a
given day and then based on the life he desires he can back calculate to arrive at contactor rating.

Referring the electrical life curves, the contactor that gives a life of 0.35 million at 30A AC-4 current is MO 95.
Hence for this requirement MO 95 is the correct contactor selection.
If one directly selects the contactor as per rated current without considering the electrical life then the electrical
life at 30 A AC-4 will be approximately 57000. Hence the contactor will last only for (57000/300) 190 days which is
much lower than desired life.
Always consider the rated current and desired Electrical life and based on that arrive at the contactor
rating through Electrical life curves.
Most of the times users are not aware of the exact operating cycles the contactor may be subjected too and
hence they can refer a standard benchmark of 200000 operating cycles. This rating is given as a ready reckoner
in catalogue and the user is assured of 200000 AC-4 operating cycles if the selection is as per this rating.
For example, if one wants 200000 operating cycles for the rated current of 9A AC-4 then contactor selected
should be MO 18 or above
This method of contactor selection is much simpler and must be employed when one expects a fixed
electrical life of 200000 operating cycles which is more than sufficient for crane duty applications. If
one desires a higher life than 200000 then one can derate the contactors by selecting one or two
ratings higher or lower if lower life is acceptable and then verify the selection through Electrical life
curves.

Selection Chart for Slip Ring Induction Motors for Crane Duty Applications
This note explains contactor selection for motors with long starting time. The note has been divided into three
parts for easy understanding of the concepts involved. They are as follows,
This current is about 6-8 times the motor rated current and can cause a significant voltage drop. This voltage
fluctuation affects other devices connected to the same supply. Hence several other strategies are employed for
starting motors to reduce its starting current; the most commonly employed being the Star–Delta starting.
The starting value of the current is independent of the load attached; however it must be sufficient to overcome
the inertia of the motor load system. However, inertia of the load impacts the starting time of the motor as
explained in the next part. As the motor accelerates and nears its rated speed, the current gradually reduces and
settles down to a value equal to motor rated current or less depending on the actual load connected. The typical
torque-speed characteristics of an induction motor are as given below,

The starting line current in Star Delta configuration is one third of the starting current of the same motor in DOL
configuration. However applied voltage and therefore starting torque also reduces, leading to higher starting
time.

19 Contactor Selection for Motors with long starting time
The applications are generally those in which the motor starting time is around 40 to
120 secs.
ID and FD fans have a high inertia and hence motors required to drive them will have a long starting time. As a
result the motor will draw high inrush current for an extended period of time.
The high inrush current drawn by the motor at start is carried by the contactors that are used for switching. Since,
this current flows for an extended period of time, the contactor needs to be selected judiciously. Guidelines for
selection of contactor rating is as follows
Contactors are selected based on their overload current withstand capability. Overload withstand capability is
defined in IEC 60947-4-1 as given below,
It means that a contactor with rated operational current equal to or less than 630A can withstand 8 times its rated
AC3 operational current for a period of 10 seconds. This rating is also called as the 10 sec rating of the
contactors.
For Example:
Let Rated operational current (AC3 Utilization category) of contactor = 400A
Then the maximum current it can carry for a period of 10 sec = 8 x Ie = 3200A
Now let us look at an example, how to arrive at minimum AC3 Ratings of the Star, Main and Delta contactors
Motor specifications
Motor kW Rating: 160 kW
Motor Full Load Line Current: 304A
Motor Starting time in Star-Delta: 85 sec
Solution:
Delta contactor can be directly selected as per type 2 chart specified by the contactor manufacturer. This is
because delta contactor is connected only when the motor has reached near its rated speed and motor current
has reduced to its full load value
Contactor Selection for Motors with long starting time 20
For selection of Star contactor and Main contactor, the withstand current must be taken into
consideration
A general schematic of Star-Delta starter is shown below,

Y
IfI
B
N
Starting current in a normal delta motor with DOL starting is around 6 - 8
Fuse times the motor full load current. However in Star-Delta starter motor
starting current in star is reduced to 1/3 of this value. Typically starting
current when using Star-Delta starting method is around 2.2 times motor
IfI / root 3 full load current.
Starting current (Is) = 2.2 x motor full load current = 2.2 x 304 = 669A

Contactor Starting time (Ts) = 85 sec
Therefore, (Is) 2 x (Ts) = 669 x 669 x 85………………. (A)

Now, Value (A) must be less than the contactor withstand capacity. i.e.

The contactor must be selected such that its rated AC-3 current Ie satisfies the above condition.
Therefore in this case MNX 265 can be selected for Star & Main Contactor.
The rating thus arrived at should be compared with the rating of the contactor as given in Type2 Chart, and the
higher rating of the two shall be selected
For e.g. In this case, the start and Main contactor rating as given in fused Type 2 chart for 160 kW motor is MNX
140 for Star and Main is MNX 185. Comparing this with the rating arrived at earlier, which is MNX 265, the correct
selection will be to use MNX 265
In case of a 160 kW motor with normal starting time (<10 sec) the selection of contactors according to type 2
charts is:
However for the same 160 kW motor with long starting time (85 sec in this case) the contactor selection is:

21 Control Transformer sizing for contactor actuation
Introduction
A contactor is an electromagnetic device consisting of a coil and magnet system along with fixed and moving
contacts. When the coil is energized, it produces a magnetic field thereby attracting the moving magnet. This
causes the fixed and moving contacts to connect and the contactor is said to be actuated. The energization of
contactor coil is usually done through a control transformer.
This is mainly done because voltage requirements vary with control systems and with an intermediary control
transformer the desired voltage can be obtained.
When a contactor coil is energized, it draws in a high inrush current momentarily. Apart from contactor coils,
relays and solenoids are some other devices which draw inrush current when energized. The control transformer
selected must be able to accommodate this momentary high inrush current for a satisfactory operation.
For a proper selection of control transformer, three parameters of the load circuit must be determined in addition
to the minimum voltage required to operate the circuit. These are Hold on VA, Pick-Up VA, and Inrush load power
factor.
Hold-On VA: Hold-On VA is the product of load voltage (V) multiplied by the current that is required to operate the
circuit after initial start up or under normal operating conditions. It is calculated by adding the hold-on VA
requirements of all the electrical devices of the circuit that will be energized at any given time. Hold-On VA is also
sometimes referred as steady state VA.
Pick-Up VA: Pick-Up VA is the product of load voltage (V) multiplied by the current (A) that is required during start
up. It is calculated by adding the pick-up VA requirements of all devices (contactors, timers, relays, solenoids,
etc) which will be energized together. Energization of electromagnetic devices takes 20-50 milliseconds. During
this inrush period, the electromagnetic devices draw 3 to 10 times the normal current.
Inrush Load power factor: Inrush load power factor is difficult to determine without a detailed vector analysis of
all the load components. Generally such analysis is not feasible; hence a safe assumption would be 40% power
factor. Until recently 20% power factor was commonly used for transformer calculations; however tests
conducted on major brands of control devices indicate that 40% power factor is a same assumption.
It is recommended that a control transformer be sized at 40% power factor. Some electromagnetic devices
typically operate at that level due to their inherently low power factor. Selecting a control transformer at 40%
power factor will be more than the adequate size for all the various loads in the circuit.
Besides the above parameters there are two parameters of primary and secondary voltage. Primary voltage is
the voltage available from electrical distribution system which is connected to the transformer supply terminals.
Secondary voltage is the voltage required for load operation which is connected to the transformer load voltage
terminals.
Control Transformer sizing for contactor actuation 22
2 2
Application Inrush VA = (Pick Up VA) + (Hold On VA)
The above regulation chart gives the continuous rating of the control transformer and the corresponding inrush
VA at different secondary voltage levels. This secondary voltage value depends on internal losses in the
transformer.
After calculating the application inrush VA as discussed above, determine the secondary voltage level of the
transformer. Column B indicates that during inrush, 90% of the rated voltage would be available at the
transformer secondary, which is an acceptable drop in rated voltage. Once this is determined, read down the
column until you arrive at a value which is more than the application inrush VA calculated. Corresponding to this
value, the value in column A would be the nameplate rating of the control transformer.
As a final check, make sure that the transformer VA rating is equal to or greater than the total circuit Hold-On
requirements.
Technical Articles
23 Control Transformer sizing for contactor actuation
Pick Up VA = 550 VA
Hold On VA = 36 VA
Application Inrush = √(550 + 36 ) = 552 VA
2 2
Now from the above table we consider the secondary voltage delivered by the transformer as 90% of the
nameplate secondary voltage under maximum inrush conditions at rated input voltage.
In column B, under 90% secondary voltage, we have to select a value more than 552 VA. The nearest value
greater than 552 VA is 1010 VA. Corresponding to the value the control transformer nameplate rating is 150 VA in
column A.
Hence rating of the control transformer for energizing MNX 110 is 150 VA
Pick-up VA = 240 VA
Hold-on VA = 25 VA
Application Inrush = √ (2402 + 252) = 241.3 VA
Now from the above table we consider the secondary voltage delivered by the transformer as 90% of the
nameplate secondary voltage under maximum inrush conditions at rated input voltage.
In column B, under 90% secondary voltage, we have to select a value more than 242 VA. The nearest value
greater than 242 VA is 365 VA. Corresponding to this value the control transformer nameplate rating is 75 VA in
column A.
It can be seen that with MO contactors, there is a significant reduction in control transformer size. This
will in turn result in cost savings for the user.
The above method assumes that all contactors are picked up at the same time.
There is also an alternative, more accurate way for sizing the control transformer. This method is more
application specific and depends on the exact number of components that are actuated at a given point of time.
Let us consider a general example of a system having five Star-Delta motor feeders each of 50 HP motors. A
typical Star-Delta feeder would consist of a Star contactor, Main contractor and a delta contactor. It would also
have two auxiliary contactors, one for start interlocking and one for emergency stop.
We will now compute the pick-up VA requirements at different instants of time and would select the control
transformer corresponding to the highest Pick-up VA requirement at any given time instant.
Control Transformer sizing for contactor actuation 24
For a 120 HP Star delta feeder as per Fuse based type 2 charts, selection would be,
Star Contactor: MNX 80
Main/Delta Contactor: MNX 95
Auxiliary contactor: MX0 (One for start interlocking and one for emergency stop)
At t = 0 except star contactor all contactors will be picked up. Hence Hold on VA would be maximum at t=2 Total
Hold-on VA = (36 x 10) + (4.5 x 10)
= 405 VA
Had we assumed that all the contactors pick-up at the same time the control transformer selection would have
been computed as below,
Hold-On VA = 21 x 5 + 36 x 10 + 4.5 x 10
= 510 VA
Hence the control transformer rating would be 750 VA, which is much more than the earlier calculated rating. So
the earlier method which takes into account the application gives a more accurate control transformer sizing

25 Control Transformer sizing for contactor actuation
For a 120 HP Star delta feeder as per type 2 charts, selection would be,
Star Contactor: MO 80
Main/Delta Contactor: MO 95
Auxiliary contactor: MX0 (One for start interlocking and one for emergency stop)
At t = 2 except star contactor all contactors will be picked up. Hence Hold on VA would be maximum at t=2
Total Hold-on VA = (25 x 10) + (4.5 x 10)
= 295 VA
Had we assumed that all the contactors pick up at the same time the control transformer selection would
have been computed as below,
Pick-Up VA = 240 x 5 + 26 x 10
= 3860 VA
Hold-On VA = 25 x 15 + 4.5 x 10
= 420 VA
Hence the control transformer rating would be 500 VA, which is much more than the earlier calculated rating. So
the earlier method which takes into account the application gives a more accurate control transformer sizing
Control Transformer sizing for contactor actuation 26
From the above computation it is clear that control transformer size with MO contactors is much lower than
that obtained by using MNX contactors. This greatly reduces the cost of the control transformer providing
direct benefit to the user. Thus MO turns out to be an economical solution over MNX with regards to control
transformer sizing for the end user.

27 Application Guide for Reduced Voltage Autotransformer Starter
Background:
With the introduction of M-Line range of controlgear products and F-Line range of SDFs a need for a
comprehensive selection chart for autotransformer motor feeder was felt necessary. Also, we have been
receiving queries from various branches for an application guide on the same.
Brief Description:
An autotransformer starter reduces inrush current by using a transformer in the line just ahead of the motor
to step down the voltage applied to the motor terminals. By reducing the voltage, the current drawn from the
line is reduced during start-up.
Starting with reduced voltage decreases the full load current at the motor terminals in proportion to the
voltage reduction while the full load torque is reduced by the square of the voltage reduction.

Operation
In autotransformer starters, the motor is started at reduced voltage, which is supplied from an
autotransformer. The starting sequence has three stages.
During the first stage, the autotransformer is star connected, and the line contactor is closed. This starts the
motor with a reduced voltage, the value of which depends upon the ratio selected for the transformer.
Autotransformers are normally provided with taps to allow the best ratio to be chosen during commissioning.
In the second stage, the star connection is opened, and the autotransformer acts as an inductor connected
in series with the motor. This transition is normally timed to occur when the motor speed has stabilized at the
end of the run-up period.
The third stage then follows almost immediately, and involves shunting the transformer completely, so that
the motor is directly connected to the supply.
The neutral point is opened by KM1; part of the autotransformer winding is switched into each phase for a
Ø
short moment, constituting a stator starting inductance.
Ø
KM3 switches the motor to full mains voltage and causes the autotransformer to be shunted out of circuit
by KM2.
Application Guide for Reduced Voltage Autotransformer Starter 28
When the motor is directly switched to lines, the motor current is generally 6 times the full load current.
In case of autotransformer if a tapping of transformation ratio K is used, then Vph across motor is KV/(3) 1/3
Hence, though the motor current is reduced by only K times the direct switching current, the current taken by
the line is reduced by K2 times.
With an autotransformer,
T2 ∞ (kV/31/3)2
Ø
T1 = torque with autotransformer starting.
2
Hence, T2 / T1 = K
Thus it provides maximum starting torque with minimal line current. Due to transformer action, the line
current will be 25 %, 42 % or 64 % of full voltage values for the 50 %, 65 % or 80 % taps respectively.

The autotransformer motor starter selection chart is based on the closed transition which never disconnects the
motor from the power source, and transient phenomena are eliminated. This is also known as ‘Korndorfer’
method.
The transition from reduced voltage to full voltage on motor starters can be based on current or time. The over
current relay monitors the motor current. When the motor current drops below the preset value, the relay signals
the motor starter to switch to full voltage. Or when the setting time on the timer has expired, the autotransformer is
bypassed.
Typically autotransformer has three taps, which provide 50%, 65% and 80% of full line voltage. The
autotransformer starter can be used for any squirrel-cage motor. Typically autotransformer has three taps,
which provide 50%, 65% and 80% of full line voltage. The autotransformer starter can be used for any squirrel-
cage motor.
Conclusion:
This chart provides aready reckoner for selection of components for an autotransformer motor feeder.

31 Length of control cables
Introduction
There is an inherent capacitance in cables. The cable capacitance indicates how much charge the cable can
store within itself. If a voltage is being applied the insulation on the individual wires becomes charged by the
voltage. This cable capacitance is defined in µF/km. With higher lengths of cable the ability to store charge also
increases.
With advent of technology and focus on energy saving, contactors are also becoming energy efficient and
compact. However there is one issue linked with low VA consumption of AC coil of contactors. When the control
cable length is high, the cable capacitance is more and it may be sufficient to store energy for providing hold on
VA to contactor coil. This may lead to delayed drop off of the contactor. This applies to contactors operating with
AC control supply only.
The effect of cable capacitance depends on the design of the control circuit as shown below,
L1
N
CL Q11
In this case, when the coil is de-energized the net cable capacitance is disconnected from the supply and
discharges through the coil. Hence there may be a slight delay in contactor drop off due to CL
L1
N
CL
Q11
In this case, the net cable capacitance continues to remain connected to the supply even after the coil supply is
switched off. This capacitance will feed the coil and if the energy stored in the capacitance is more than coil Hold-
on VA, the coil will continue to remain energized and the contactor will fail to drop.
The problem of cable capacitances is mainly encountered in large scale installations such a crane systems in
container terminals or where control is from field devices or automation system situated away from the control
panels.
Maximum permissible control cable length for reliable contactor drop off can be defined as below:

L < 3.18 ( m+1 C *U 2

where,
L - Length of control cable in meter
m - ratio of minimum drop-off voltage to rated coil voltage

a clear drop off when control supply is cut off:

Detailed Selection guide for lightening circuit 34
Today, street lighting commonly uses high intensity discharge lamps. The lamps generally used for street
lighting and outdoor lighting are given below.
Out of these, high pressure sodium vapour lamps are the most ubiquitous for street lighting because they are
the most efficient light source. HPSV lamps are preferred because even though it has low colour rendering, it
is not a major requirement in street lighting applications. The comparison is shown in the annex.
Barium Getter Lower Support Cathode Discharge Tube Sodium (Heat Reflector)
Operation: -
Ø
These lamps use an alloy of sodium and mercury (called sodium amalgam) in a discharge through xenon
gas at high pressure inside the arc tube.
There is an ignitor built into the ballast which sends a pulse of high voltage energy (3000V to 4500V)
Ø
through the arc tube. This pulse starts an arc through the xenon gas.
Ø
This ignitor operates within a second or two after switch on, and through the ballast induces aseries of
very high voltage pulses to ignite the lamp. Once the lamp has started, the internal ignitor stops operating.
Ø
Xenon gas is ionized and this facilitates striking of arc when voltage is applied across electrodes. The heat
generated by the arc then vaporizes the mercury and sodium. The mercury vapor raises the gas pressure
and the sodium vapour produces light when the pressure within the arc tube is sufficient.
Current profile
Inrush current during switch ON due to charging of circuit capacitors - With the capacitor introduced in
the supply circuit for power factor compensation, it draws a charging current during switching ON. The value
of inrush current during switch ON of lamps is generally between 20-60In for a period less than 5 ms.
Preheating current: - Before ignition in order to ionize the gas between the electrodes, the discharge lamp
draws more current from the supply. This current (also known as starting current) generally ranges from 1.1
to 1.6 times the nominal current In for a period of 2-10 min.

In vacuum contactor, the arc gets quenched at first zero crossing without a restrike. The duration of the arc is very
short. This gives minimal wear and tear to the contacts and the electrical life of the contactor is much higher as
compared to conventional air brake contactor.
Applications:
• Crawler cranes; forward reverse operation in mines
• Lifts hoists
• Blast furnace
• Cold rolling mill
• Resistive load switching in heaters, ventilation system, melting furnace
Features
Contact life indicator on front facia for easy visibility

In keeping with the mission to deliver the best, E&A understands the
requirements of the RoHS directive. The directive restricts the use of hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic equipment and bans electrical
equipment containing more than permitted levels of lead, cadmium, mercury,
hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBS) and polybrominated
diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
Benefits of using MO C Contactors 166
A typical case below illustrates the magnitude of transient inrush current for switching of a capacitor bank. For a
12.5 kVAr capacitor bank:
Capacitor Duty Contactors are designed to limit this high transient inrush current by introducing damping
resistors with early make auxiliary contacts. The current limiting due to damping resistors protects the APFC
system from harmful effects of the capacitor charging inrush current.
MO C range of capacitor switching contactors have patented mechanism which disconnects the early make
auxiliary contacts after the main contacts are closed. This completely eliminates the possibility of auxiliary
contacts carrying and breaking the currents during breaking operation. This enhances the product switching
performance and improves the product life.
MO C Contactors are available in 9 different ratings within 3 different frame sizes. All Contactors are available
with AC coils with a large variety of voltage range for 50 or 60 Hz.

Possible Reasons of damage of Capacitor Duty Contactor and how MOC addresses them:
1. Damping resistors are intact but connection terminals are damaged.
This can happen if the damping resistors are disconnected from the system during switch on. The damage is
due to the fact that the main terminals would have seen the entire inrush current as the damping resistors were
disconnected and there was no current limiting.
MOC addresses this by having separate connections for damping resistors which are crimped. Under no
circumstances will the damping resistors become loose or disconnecting, thereby the main contacts will never
see entire inrush current
2. Burning of discharge resistors over a period of time due to overheating.
This happens if the damping resistors are continuously in circuit. If the capacitors are overloaded due to
harmonics, high current will flow continuously through the damping resistors, thereby causing overheating.
MOC addresses this by have resistor with de-latching operation. This means after the initial make operation,
the resistors are disconnected from the system and only main contacts are present. Even if there is higher
current due to capacitor overload, the resistors will not see that current as they are disconnected. There will be
no damage to the main contacts too as they have a high thermal rating.
3. Burning of resistors due to chattering / continuous make-break.
The band of MO C Contactors coil is 75% - 110% of specified coil voltage. Voltage dips can be absorbed by
MOC Contactors as they have a sufficiently high operating band. However, any rise or drop in control voltage
beyond this can result in overloading or chattering.

Timing diagram for de-latching and main contacts operation (For illustration purpose only)
But in case of under-voltage condition the electromagnetic force produced in the magnet system is not sufficient
to close the magnet system completely, which may result in two scenarios:
1. Damping resistor contacts, which are early make contacts, get closed but the force is insufficient for closing
main contacts and as a result de-latching does not occur.
2. Another scenario can be when the contactor starts chattering because of low voltage. And the latching
contacts close and open again and again with a frequency higher than the recommended switching frequency.
In both the cases resistors heat up because of repetitive passage of high current through them. This excessive
heating can be as high as to burn the resistor block
Because of under-voltage, coil also draws current higher than its rated current. This damages the coil. Burnt or
damaged coil again indicates the under-voltage.
As discussed above that in case of under-voltage, electromagnetic force is not sufficient to close the main
contacts. And there won't be any damage to main contacts.
It can be inferred now that if capacitor duty contactor's resistor assembly is found burnt along with burnt coil and
healthy main contacts, the contactor has failed because of under-voltage.

Motor Protection relay protects the motor against
burnout during overload or locked rotor condition and
offers a wide range of specification to meet various
needs, including protection against overload and phase
reversal etc.
The selection of MPR should be based on the cost and
application of electric motor. Its appropriate selection
not only prevents motor damage, but also ensures
optimal process efficiency with minimal interruption.

MOG Motor
Protection
Circuit Breakers
MOG MPCB integrates short circuit protection and
overload relay function into a highly compact unit. The
MPCB can be used in numerous small and medium
motor loads requiring high breaking capacity. Also, the
compact size of the MPCB enables a smaller
installation area with less wiring space, thus reducing
panel space.

Adjustable thermal magnetic trip type MPCB Instantaneous trip type MPCB
Solution by using MPCB 216
Overload Protection
Motor Protection breakers cannot be adjusted to match the rated current of the motor being protected.
Equipped with a wide range current adjustment dial (with maximum/minimum ratio of 1.4 to 1.6), the MPCB easily
adjusts to match the rated current of the motor, for optimum protection.
The compact size of the MPCB, including overload relay functions, enables a smaller installation area with less
wiring space, for a reduction in panel size.
Type “1” co-ordination requires that under short-circuit conditions; the contactor or the starter shall cause no
danger to persons or installation. The motor feeder may not be suitable for further service without repair and
replacement of parts (Not remaining suitable is NOT a requirement and hence you may find separating in a
different sentence could avoid possibility of misconception)
Type “2” co-ordination requires that under short-circuit conditions; the contactor or the starter shall cause no
danger to persons or installation and shall be suitable for further use. However contact welding is recognized.
Also the time-current characteristics of the over load protection device should not change. This in other words
means safety, low down time and continued protection.
Types of MCBs
The Classes of MCBs and the corresponding magnetic settings are tabulated below:
Curve Type Magnetic setting (Multiples of In)
B 3-5 times
C 5-10 times
D 10-20 times
Unlike a Fuse unit the MCB is a peak sensing device. While providing SC protection to the motor it is imperative
that the MCB does not trip on the starting transients of the motor. This care has to be taken while selecting the
rating of the MCB. These transients are usually of the tune of 12 times the full load current.
Now suppose a C curve MCB is selected, in order to ensure it does not trip during the starting of the motor, 12
times the motor full load current should be lesser than 5 times the MCB’s nominal current
For e.g.: for a Motor having a full load current of 6 A, 12 x 6 = 72A (starting current), a C curve MCB of rating = 72/5
= 14.5, i.e. 15A will have to be selected.
Suppose a fault occurs and the motor starts drawing a current of 60A, The MCB will not trip as 60A is lesser than
15 x 5 = 75A. As a result the overload relay will have to give a trip signal to the contactor to break this current.
The IEC standard specifies the breaking capacity of a contactor to be 8 times its AC3 rating. 60 A is greater than 8
x 6 = 48A as a result the contactor will get damaged. This problem can be rectified by de-rating the contactor.
The second more serious problem can be described by considering the below case:
Consider a 0.16 hp motor with a Full load current of 0.45A. The initial starting current will be around 5.4A. As in the
earlier case a C curve MCB of 2A will have to be selected. With proper de-rating, an 18A Contactor is selected
with a relay having rating of 0.3 - 0.5A.
Now in this case, the crossover between the relay and the MCB will take place at 5 x 2 = 10A which is 20 times the
upper limit of the relay. This will cause permanent damage to the relay. There is no solution to this problem as de
rating a relay is not possible.
Problem with Co-ordination of Contactors &
Overload Relays with MCBs 218
Suppose a D curve MCB is selected, then for the above case, a 72/10= 7.2 A i.e. an 8 A MCB will have to be
selected. Now the MCB has to trip for currents between 10-20 times its nominal current. For the worst case in
which the MCB trips at 20 times (i.e. 160A), for a fault current of 140A, the overload relay will have to give a
tripping command to the MCB and there will be similar consequences as in the previous case.
Thus in conclusion; while selecting an MCB for motor protection which may be a cost effective
solution, one must be fully aware of the possible damages that might be caused to the contactor and
overload relay.
We recommend that if a customer wants fuseless protection for a feeder, MPCB be used
