Capacitive Switching Contactors

ABB offers 3 contactor types for capacitive switching:

• UA...RA contactors for capacitor switching (UA16...RA to UA110...RA) with preinstalled damping resistors. The insertion of damping resistors protects the contactor and the capacitor from the highest inrush currents.
• UA contactors for capacitor switching (UA16 to UA110) Maximum permissible peak current î = 100 times the nominal rms current of the switched capacitor.
• A and AF standard contactors Maximum permissible peak current î = 30 times the nominal rms current of the switched capacitor.
