Special contactor for power factor correction capacitors

General characteristics

These contactors are equipped with early contact. This is a special type of contact that is intended for a very short period of time before the contactor is switched on for 2-3 ms, with a resistor turned on to limit the current on the capacitor. When the turn-on operation is completed, these resistors exit the circuit, and the magnitude of the current is restored to coincide with the main circuit contact. The use of this type of circuit can make all the components of the system less loss, especially fuses and capacitors to ensure extended service life and higher reliability. The contactor is particularly suitable for automatic power factor correction control cabinet, because there is no need to limit the inductance and heat removal measures. In this way, some modular electrical switchgear can be made more compact.

 

 BFK version, Figure 1, designed for 3-phase circuit switches. This type is characterized in that, in its contacts, it is suitable for connection of current limiting resistors. The current limiting resistor is switched on only when the peak current of the impulse current is required and is then disconnected to avoid possible residual current flowing through the resistor.
