Protection and Connection Information:
- Short-circuit and overload protection of main connections: Refer to the technical product data sheet for specific information on protecting a free-standing contactor. For device combinations with overload relays or circuit breakers, consult the Digital Configuration Manual for load feeders.
- Short-circuit and overload protection of auxiliary connections: Details are available in the technical product data sheet.
- Short-circuit and overload protection of control supply voltage: Adhere to relevant standards for control panel configuration. Consider power supplies with current-limiting functions and suitable protection devices like miniature or circuit breakers.
- Protection against overvoltage at the control supply voltage: 3RT13 contactors are factory-equipped with varistor coil damping. Note that damping increases break, opening, and closing delay times; refer to the Equipment Manual for detailed influence.
Connection Methods:
- Main Circuit (3RT136 contactors): Screw terminals with connecting bars suitable for cable lugs or flexible/rigid busbars. Can be fitted with broadened bus connectors (see accessories).
- Auxiliary and Control Circuit: Reliable screw terminals.
Electromagnetic Compatibility:
- The contactors meet the requirements for environment category A. When used with frequency converters, specific configuration notes in the Equipment Manual must be observed.
Contact Reliability of Auxiliary Contacts:
