###*What does the utilisation category AC1 and AC3 mean for the TeSys contactors?**
Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions. AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.
AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running.
Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.
###*What accessories are available?**
Auxiliary contact blocks with serrated wiping action
Front mount dust tight auxiliary contact blocks
Pneumatic time delay blocks
Transient voltage surge suppressors
Interface modules and electronic timers
Mechanical latching blocks
###*Is the TeSys D range a double break pole type contactor?**
Yes the Tesys D range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.
