5.2 Cablejat

1. Desconnecteu l'alimentació: Ensure all power to the circuit is OFF before beginning wiring.
2. Cablejat del circuit d'alimentació: Connect the incoming power lines to the main power terminals (L1, L2, L3) and the load lines to the corresponding output terminals (T1, T2, T3). Ensure proper wire gauge for the current rating.
3. Control Circuit Wiring: Connect the 208V AC control voltage to the coil terminals (A1 and A2). Observe polarity if specified, though AC coils are generally non-polar.
4. Contactes auxiliars: If auxiliary contacts are used, wire them according to your control circuit diagram.
5. Verifica les connexions: Double-check all wiring for tightness and correct connections before restoring power.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

The TeSys D contactor operates by energizing its control coil, which causes the main contacts to close, thereby connecting the load to the power supply.

• Energitzant la bobina: When 208V AC is applied to the A1 and A2 terminals, the coil becomes energized.
• Contact Closure: Upon coil energization, the three main normally open (NO) contacts (L1-T1, L2-T2, L3-T3) will close, allowing current to flow to the connected load. Any auxiliary contacts will also change state as per their design (NO contacts close, NC contacts open).
• Desactivació de l'alimentació de la bobina: When the 208V AC supply to the coil is removed, the coil de-energizes, and the main contacts, along with any auxiliary contacts, return to their original state.
• Indicador d'estat: Some models may include a visual indicator to show the contactor's operational status (energized/de-energized).

7. Manteniment

Regular inspection and maintenance can extend the lifespan of the contactor and ensure reliable operation. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.

• Inspecció visual: Inspeccioneu periòdicament el contactor per detectar signes de desgast, danys, decoloració o connexions soltes. Comproveu si hi ha acumulació de pols o restes.
• Estanquitat del terminal: Ensure all terminal screws are tight. Loose connections can lead to overheating and arcing.
• Neteja: Use a dry, lint-free cloth or compressed air to remove dust and dirt from the contactor. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
• Desgast de contacte: While not typically user-serviceable, excessive arcing or pitting on contacts may indicate the need for replacement.
