Use under rated condition, otherwise contactors will not only cause
malfunction, but also cause a fire or damage the contactor.
Life period of contactor depends on the operating application. Please
check the electrical life under real application in advance.
If you continue to use malfunctioning contactor, a fire or breakdown
may occur.
Do not miss-wire or miss-charge the power supply, otherwise the
contactor does not work correctly.
Do not operate in places with explosive or flammable gas, otherwise
a fire or explosion may occur by arc or heating from contactor.
Make sure to use the circuit well considered about safety, in case
there is any possibility to cause secondary disaster by contact trouble (welding, faulty contact).
Do not supply short-circuit current to electromagnetic switch (contactor with thermal relay). Doing so may result failure in heater of thermal relay. Please use short-circuit protection like fuse or protective
circuit breaker.
Do not use a contactor or thermal relay which has been dropped or
dismantled. Doing so may cause malfunction or a fire.
Make sure to shut off power supply to contactors before wiring or
replacing.
Do not operate the actuator of a contactor manually. Doing so may
cause contact welding by chattering or burn out by arc.
Unless otherwise stated in the catalogue,
modifications, especially those of stated values,
sizes and weights are subject to alternation.
Diagrams and tables are subject to alternation and
not to be regarded as binding drawings.
■ Correct use
General use
Unexpected malfunction may occur in real application. Please carry
out as many tests as possible.
Ratings in this catalogue measured under the condition according to
IEC unless otherwise specified. In cases of check by real application,
please carry out the test under the same condition as expected in the
actual application.
Selection
Coil specification
Please select suitable coil to circuit design, otherwise malfunction
may occur or coil may have a burn out by overvoltage etc.
Type
Please check contact ratings, switching capacity, thermal characteristics etc. when selecting product type.
Thermal relay
Motor current differs by supplier, type, number of poles, frequency.
Please confirm operational current level.
Coil surge suppressor
Coil surge suppressor type should be selected by contactor type,
auxiliary relay type and applied voltage. Make sure to use defined
each contactor.
In case of installing coil surge suppressor, please check the actual
circuit because the release time will be delayed.
Electrical life expectancy
Electrical life expectancy tests in this catalogue are based on IEC.
Circuit design
Supplied voltage waveform for input
Make sure to apply and remove the voltage instantly. Do not use
under the condition that the coil voltage waveform increases or
decreases gradually.
In case of DC contactor use (input voltage
ripple)
Please use DC contactor input voltage with a ripple ratio less than
5%. Excessive ripple (pulsating current) may cause contact welding.
Fluctuation of input voltage
Make sure to supply sufficient voltage to actuate contactors properly.
Continuous supply of insufficient voltage results in excessive heating
and may cause burn out of coil.
Maximum applied voltage
Do not supply the voltage over the maximum rated voltage, otherwise
burn out or insulation failure may occur.
The temperature inside control panel has much influence to the coil
temperature, so make sure not to exceed the specified value in the
catalogue.
Basically rated voltage should be supplied to coil. To supply higher
voltage than rated would result in shorter electrical life, even if it is
lower than the maximum rated voltage.
Reverse
Make sure to use reversible contactors for reverse operation.
Make sure to use interlock device in reverse operation by two contactors, otherwise short circuit current may burn out or give damage to
contactors and motors.

Installation
Operation ambience
Mounting
Make sure to use specified wire size, mounting screw size, mounting
screw number, and DIN rail size.
Tightening Screw
Tighten each screw securely by specified tightening torque. Loose
tightening may cause a fire by excessive heating.
Combination
Please use only OMRON product combinations in case of thermal
relay, timer block and auxiliary contact block etc.
Wrong-combinations may result in damage to contactors.
Mounting direction
Some products have a defined specific mounting direction. Please
refer to datasheet before use.
Dust
Dust on the surface of the contacts could result in contact malfunctioning. Take countermeasure in excessive dusty surrounding.
Temperature, humidity
Use contactors within the temperature and humidity conditions specified in datasheet. To use or store contactor in excessive temperature
or humidity may result in malfunction of contact by organic film composed by sulfication and oxidation on the surface of the contacts.
Use contactors within the temperature and humidity conditions specified in the datasheet, to prevent contactors from insulation resistance failure by condensation or insulation resistance deterioration
by tracking.
Gas
NH3, H2S, SO2, CI2, Si and NO2 have bad effects on a contactor.
With these gases, a corrosive metal film ist generated on the surface
of the contacts and could result in contact malfunctioning. Use a contactor in low humidity and no corrosive gas surroundings.
Oil
Do not use a contactor in places where oil is sprayed onto the contactor. It will cause cracks on polymer parts.
Shock and vibration
Do not use a contactor in places where there is excessive shock or
vibration. It may cause malfunctioning.
Storage
Store contactors in a place with no direct sunshine or ultraviolet rays.
It will cause crack on polymer parts.
When contactors are to be stored for a long time, they must be stored
with care. Though it generally depends where contactors are stored,
deterioration of contacts may occur after long storage. Please check
the characteristics before use after long time storage.

European Standards
■ IEC 947, EN 60947
European Standards for Low-Voltage Switchgear
For Europe and most other industrial countries of the world, the new
IEC 947 and EN 60 947 specifications for low-voltage switchgear
have unified the regulations which previously varied from nation to
nation.
This required the introduction of new terms, and new test methods
and utilization categories. The new specifications are aimed
primarily at manufacturers. However, the user also will come across
new technical terms and data in the manufacturers’ catalogues
and on the devices themselves which are important for the selection
and application of the devices. The present paper deals with the currently published specifications. Further specifications and
supplements are in preparation.

Since 1993, all low-voltage switchgear purchased in Europe had to
satisfy the EN 60 947 European Standard. Installations in existence
prior to 1993 are not affected by the standard and need not to be
refitted with new devices. Devices constructed and tested to the IEC
standards and EN standards can be used worldwide, with the exception of the USA and Canada. In these countries UL and CSA specifications continue to apply. Switchgear which conforms to IEC 947
and EN 60 947 and which has, in addition, UL- and CSA approvals,
in the meantime has entered the market. Such ‘world market’ devices
offer the advantage that they can be used throughout the world,
including the USA and Canada.

This test subjects the equipment to an ambient temperature of 40°C
at a constant humidity of 93%. At set intervals during the test, the
electrical and mechanical function of the equipment are examined.
Damp heat, cyclic
This test subjects the equipment to cyclically changing climatic conditions: a cycle applies 40°C ambient temperature at 93% relative
humidity for 12 hours, followed by 12 hours of 25°C at 95% relative
humidity. At set intervals during the test, the electrical and mechanical function of the equipment are examined.
Finger proof
An equipment whose live parts cannot be touched by the operator
during actuation is termed finger proof. This also affects operator
activity on neighbouring switching devices. The finger proof area of a
push-actuated operating medium is a circular area of at least 30 mm
radius around the actuating element, and vertical to the direction of
actuation.
Within this circular area, touch-critical parts must be located at not
less than 80 mm depth under the actuating level.
Utilization category
(IEC 947-1; 2.1 .18/IEV 441-17-19)
A combination of specified requirements relating to the condition in
which the switching device or the fuse fulfills its purpose, selected to
represent a characteristic group of practical applications. The speci-
fied requirements may concern, e.g. the values of making capacities,
breaking capacities and other characteristic values, data concerning
associated circuits, and the relevant conditions of use and behaviour.
(IEC 947-2; 4.4)
For circuit-breakers, the utilization category denotes whether the
equipment is designed for selectivity using time delay (category B) or
not (category A).
Back-of-hand proof
An equipment whose live parts cannot be touched by a sphere of
50 mm diameter, is regarded as back-of-hand proof.
Altitude
The density of air decreases with increasing altitude, and this
reduces its insulating capacity as well as its heat transfer capability.
The rated operational voltage and current of switching devices, con-
ductors and motors as well as the tripping behaviour of thermal over-
load relays are affected by this.
Upon request, OMRON ELECTRONICS will supply information as to
the suitability or otherwise of switchgear for operation at altitudes
above the 2000 m limit specified by the standard.
Conventional free air thermal current
(IEC 947-1; 4.3.2.1)
The maximum value of current which an equipment is capable of car-
rying for a minimum of eight hours without thermal overloading. As a
rule, it corresponds to the maximum operational current.
Creepage path
(IEC 947-1; 2.5.51/IEV 151-03-37)
The shortest distance along the surface of the insulating material
between two conductive parts. The creepage distance is determined
by the rated insulation voltage, the pollution degree and the creep-
age current resistance of the material used.
Clearance
(IEC 947-1; 2.5.46/IEV 441-17-31)
The distance between two conductive parts along a string stretched
the shortest way between these conductive parts. The clearance in
air is determined by the rated impulse withstand voltage, overvoltage
category and pollution degree.
88 Low Voltage Switch Gear Appendix
Emergency-stop switching device
Switching device within an emergency-stop circuit which is intended
to prevent danger to persons, damage to machinery or working
materials.
Opening delay
(IEV 441-17-36)
The interval of time between the specified instant of initiation of the
opening operation and the instant when the arcing contacts have
separated in all poles. The opening time is the sum of the tripping
time and the inherent delay of the contacts.
Closing delay
The interval of time between the instant of command and the first
make operation of the contacts of the first pole to close. The closing
delay is made up of the response delay and the closing time.
Shock resistance
The capacity of an equipment to withstand pulse-like motions without
changing its operating status or sustaining damage. No contact lifting
must take place on devices in the On position, the main contacts
must not knock against each other in the Off position. A safety switch
must not trip, and control circuit switches must not change their
switching status.
Overvoltage category
(IEC 947-1; 2.5.60)
Conventional number for prospective overvoltages at the point of
installation, as might be caused for example by the effect of lightning
or switching processes. The overvoltage category applicable to
industrial switchgear is III. The applicability of switchgear according
to the overvoltage categories is defined as follows:
Overvoltage category IV:
Use allowed directly at the termination point of the installation
(directly affected by any lightning), e.g. at an overhead line connection point.
Overvoltage category III:
Operating media with special requirements as to the serviceability for
connection in fixed installations, which are protected by overvoltage
diversion measures, e.g. circuit-breakers in low-voltage distribution
systems or in control systems for industrial use.
Overvoltage category II:
Power consumers for connection to fixed installations, e. g. household appliances, electrical tools.
Overvoltage category I:
Operating media for connection to circuits containing overvoltage
protection schemes, e.g. electronic devices.
Safe isolation
(IEC 536, DIN VDE 0106 Part 101)
Isolation of circuits not carrying dangerous voltages (e.g. protective
extra-low voltage) from circuits in which dangerous voltages flow.
Such isolation is achieved by means of reinforced or double insulation which reliably prevents voltage transfer from one circuit to
another. This might otherwise take place between main circuits and
control circuits in switching devices or between transformer primary
and secondary. ”Safe isolation” is a priority requirement for safety circuits and functional low-voltage circuits.
Isolating function
(IEC 947-1; 2.1.19)
Equipments are deemed to possess this isolating function provided
their switching contacts when in the open position, achieve the separation distance prescribed for the isolation of electrical circuits, and
their creepage paths and clearance distances are of the required
size. The power supply to the entire installation or a section of the
installation can thus be cut off for safety reasons, e.g. during maintenance.
Tamper proof
An emergency-stop switching device is regarded as tamper proof
provided it cannot be reset without tools or via a prescribed procedure, after tripping has taken place. The device latches in the tripped
position. Accidental or deliberate manipulation (inching) is thus ruled
out.
Ambient temperature, open
(IEV 441-11-13)
Room temperature for example of the workshop or switch room in
which the switching device is located.
Ambient temperature, enclosed
(IEV 441-11-13)
Temperature at which the switching device is capable of being operated within a closed housing. For this purpose, it must be taken into
account that the heat losses of the device will add to the internal temperature rise within the enclosure.
Losses
(IEV 151-03-18)
The difference between the input power and the output power of a
device. The main type of loss in electrical power distribution switchgear and operating media is current heat loss.
Pollution degree
(IEC 947-1; 6./1.3.2)
Conventional number for the prospective quantities of conductive
dust and humidity which can lead to a reduction in the control circuit
reliability of a device. The pollution degree is described by the following influencing factors:
Pollution degree 1:
No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The pollution does not affect the control circuit reliability.
Pollution degree 2:
Usually, only non-conductive pollution. However, transient conductivity through condensation is to be expected.
Pollution degree 3: (switchgear for industrial use)
Conductive pollution or dry, non-conductive pollution which is rendered conductive through condensation.
Pollution degree 4:
The pollution leads to long-term conductivity, e.g. pollution by conductive dust, rain or snow.
Low Voltage Switch GearAppendix89
Coordination type
Status of a switchgear combination (motor starter) during and after
testing at rated conditional current:
Coordination Type “1“:
- No risk to persons or installations
- No requirement for immediate readiness for renewed operation
- Damage to the starter is permissible
Coordination type “2“:
- No risk to persons or installations
- Starter is capable of renewed operation
- No damage to the starter with the exception of a slight welding of
the contacts, provided they can be separated without significant
deformation.
Positive opening operation
(IEC 947-1; 2.4.11/IEV 441-16-12)
This opening operation is designed to ensure that auxiliary contacts
of a switching device are always in the respective positions corresponding to the open or closed position of the main contacts. The
contacts of a contactor are interlocked opposing contacts, pro-

vided they are mechanically linked in such a way as to ensure that
normally open and normally closed contacts can never be closed
simultaneously.
This arrangement must also ensure that minimum contact separation
of 0.5 mm is maintained over the entire lifespan of the device, even
during a fault, e.g. the welding of one contact.
The relevant German Trade Association requires the use of contac-
tors with interlocked opposing contacts for control systems on power
presses in the metal processing industry.

This describes an arrangement where a link between the actuator
and the switching element ensures that the force exerted on the actu-
ator is transferred directly, i.e. without the intervention of sprung
parts, onto the switching element.

Terminal markings acc. to EN50011
Auxiliary contacts of AC contactors and contacts of contactor relays
and thermal overload relays are particularly marked. The terminal
markings of normally-open contacts are printed as positive figures,
they of normally-closed contacts as negative figures.
This gives a clear indication of the function of the contacts.
The figure below illustrates the determination of terminal markings
for contactors with auxiliary contact blocks.
Sequence number
Function number
The complete terminal marking according
to EN 50011 and EN 50012 results from the
sequence numbers on the contactor relay
or ac contactor (2., 3.) and the function
numbers on the auxiliary contact blocks
(e. g. .1, .2, or .3, .4).
Resistance to climatic conditions acc. to IEC 68
Open-type devices are climate-resistant in the constant climate
according to IEC 68-2-3 (this is a climate with an ambient temperature of 40°C and an atmospheric humidity of 90 to 95%).
Enclosed devices are climate-resistant in an alternating climate
according to IEC 68-2-30 (this is a moist alternating climate with a
24-hour cycle between climates with an ambient temperature of
25°C, and an atmospheric humidity of 95 to 100% and an ambient
temperature of 40°C, and an atmospheric humidity of 90 to 96% in
the presence of condensation during rises in temperature).
Data are valid up to an altitude of 2000m above sea level.
Short circuit protection
Back up fuses should be used to protect contactors and starters
against short circuits. For starters the device with the smaller admissible fuse at the main and at the control circuit (contactor or thermal
overload) determines the fuse size.
After a short circuit devices have to be checked for correct operation.
Disconnect power before proceeding with any work on the equipment!

Rated currents of 3-phase motors (approx. figures for squirrel-cage motors)
Minimum fuse size for protection of 3-phase motors
The maximum size is determined by the requirements of the switchgear or overload relay.
The rated motor currents are for standard 1500 r.p.m. 3-phase enclosed ventilated and totally enclosed fan-cooled motors.
D.O.L. starting: Maximum starting current 6 x rated motor current. Maximum starting time 5 s.
Y/D starting: Maximum starting current 2 x rated motor current. Maximum starting time 15 s.
Rated fuse currents for Y/D starting are also valid for 3-phase motors with slip-ring motors.
For higher rated currents, starting currents and/or longer starting times, larger fuses are required.
Table is valid for “slow” and/or “gL” fuses (DIN VDE 0636).
For NH fuses with aM characteristics, fuses = rated current is selected.
Set overload relay in the phase lead to 0.58 x rated motor current.
