AF range contactors /
CP-C, -S, -E, -T range power supply units

Primary switch mode power supply units for supplying contactors with electronic coil

The following table shows which of our power supply units can safely switch-on and operate each size of ABB contactor with
electronic coil.

Assignment of the devices under the following conditions:

The power supply units have been loaded with contactors only. There was no additional load.
The contactors have been actuated in cold state or after thermally built-up hold power.
The single-phase power supply units have been tested on the primary side with 115 and 230 V AC.
The three-phase power supply units have been tested on the primary side with 400 V AC.
The secondary voltage was in both cases 24 V DC.

Co-ordination parameters

Average pick-up current of the contactors ≈ Max. load operating point of the power supply units
Ambient temperature range: 0...70 °C
Switching frequency: 120/h
Mounting position of the contactors: horizontal
Wire length: 2 x 2.5 m
Cross section: 1.5 mm²

The pick-up current of the contactors exceeds the max. load operating point of the power supply units CP-

C 24/5.0 and CP-S 24/5.0 slightly (8%). Due to the sufficient acceleration of the mechanical parts inside

the contactor during the pick-up phase, the co-ordination of the units is nevertheless guaranteed.
