Customer ServiceIf the reading is between 5 to 20, the contactor is fine. But if you notice the reading to be anything lower than 5, the contactor is faulty. If the contactor is faulty, you should take it to the hardware store where you can buy the exact replacement. After getting the replacement, use the picture you took to carefully fit the contactor back.

Customer ServiceThis in turn aids in increasing the functional reliability of the electrical circuit. In a nutshell, the capacitor switching contactors are an extremely crucial switchgear of the circuit, which governs the flow of electrical power. These are installed in single or multi – step capacitor banks in commercial and residential spaces.
The main function of the capacitor contactor lies in the auxiliary contact, which is very different from the conventional contact. The 33 and 34 contacts on the auxiliary contacts of the capacitor contactor have the same function as the conventional auxiliary contacts, which act together with the main contacts of the contactor.
Application The A...and AF...contactors are suited for capacitor bank switching for the peak current and power values in the table below. The capacitors must be discharged (maximum residual voltage at terminals < 50 V)before being re-energized when the contactors are making.
Use K3-..A contactors for switching capacitors that have a series reactor (filter, tuning, detuning, etc.) that reduces transients normally associated with the switching of capacitors. FRAKO Type A contactors (without pre-charge resistors) are rated for the maximum capacitive current (or kVAR).
If a conven onal power contactor is used for a capacitor switching applica on, the size of contactor will be more which will in turn increase the system cost. On the other hand, size of a special capacitor duty contactor will be less and so the total system cost for the same applica on.
