Contactor for capacitor banks TeSys D 16.7kVar 3P coil 230VAC LC1DGKP7

Contactor for capacitor banks – effective protection and control

This contactor from the TeSys D series is designed for effective control and protection of capacitor banks. A rated reactive power of 16.7 kvar for both 50 and 60 Hz ensures stable operation of the power factor correction system. The design with three normally closed main contacts allows for reliable switching of circuits.

Application and design features

This contactor is widely used in buildings, industrial plants, power supply systems, and water and wastewater management. Its compact dimensions (45 mm wide, 125 mm high, and 127 mm deep) make it easy to install in confined spaces. Screw connections provide solid and secure wiring. Additionally, the contactor complies with IEC60335-1, which guarantees increased resistance to fire and dust – important in demanding industrial environments.

Advantages for installers and users

• High mechanical durability: The contactor provides up to 15 million switching cycles, which translates to a long service life and minimizes the need for replacement. A switching frequency of up to 3600 cycles per hour guarantees reliability even with intensive use.
• Integrated auxiliary contacts: Standard equipment with mirrored auxiliary contacts (NO+NC) allows direct use of the contactor in safety circuits in accordance with IEC standards. They are adapted to signals with a minimum current of 1 mA, allowing them to be connected directly to PLCs – simplifying connection diagrams and reducing installation costs.
• Simple selection: A short catalog number containing the rated current makes it quick and precise to select the appropriate model for specific application needs.
• Digital documentation: Access to full technical documentation via a QR code significantly speeds up the installation and servicing process.
• Sustainable development: The product has a Green Premium label, which means compliance with the latest environmental regulations and a low impact on CO2 emissions.
• Universal control voltage: The ability to operate at both 230V AC for 50Hz and 60Hz increases application flexibility.
• Available accessories: A wide range of accessories allows the contactor to be adapted to the most demanding applications, and additional auxiliary contacts are resistant to dust and harsh working conditions.
