What does the utilisation category AC1 and AC3 mean for the TeSys contactors?
- Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions. 
 
- AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.
 
- AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running. Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.
 
What accessories are available?
- Auxiliary contact blocks with serrated wiping action.
 
- Front mount dust tight auxiliary contact blocks.
 
- Pneumatic time delay blocks.
 
- Transient voltage surge suppressors.
 
- Interface modules and electronic timers.
 
- Mechanical latching blocks.
 
Is the TeSys D range a double break pole type contactor?
- Yes, the Tesys D range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.
