Contact service life of auxiliary and main contacts (size S2)
Contact service life of auxiliary contacts
This requires operating mechanisms that switch at
random, i.e. not synchronized with the phase angle of the
supply system.
The contact service life is essentially dependent on the
breaking current.
The characteristic curves apply to:
• Integrated auxiliary contacts on 3RT20
• Auxiliary switch blocks 3RH2911-., 3RH2921-. for
contactors size S2.
