Contactors CP Series – Installation and Maintenance Instructions
Maintenance
9.3 Corrective maintenance
The contactors are maintenance-free within the rated
mechanical life time. The electrical life time depends on
the number of switchings under heavy load conditions
and may vary for dierent applications. In normal use,
this corresponds to a decade-long operating period.
However, in case of permanent heavy load switchings,
failures, short-circuit switchings or in similar cases cor-
rective maintenance may be necessary.
WARNING
The use of unsuitable parts can lead to
accidents and serious personal injury
due to malfunctions.
X
Only use original spare parts!
X
Do not combine single parts from
dierent contactors!
