DC Contactors

General Purpose Type 3TC

Specifications
Type 3TC general purpose contactors meet or exceed the requirements of NEMA, UL, CSA, IEC, VDE and other international standards. Information on approvals in Section 1.
Application

These contactors can be used for starting of DC motors where the starting current does not exceed 10 times the current corresponding to the horsepower rating of the contactor. The ratings given in the Contactor Ratings Table apply for the double-pole switching of loads or when the two contact paths of the contactor are connected in series. When only one contact is used, the values given can be switched at voltages up to 220V.
Mounting

Mounting positions
3TC44

Type 3TC DC contactors are primarily used in mining, steel mills, and other heavy duty industrial applications. These contactors are designed for continuous operation and they are used to remotely control DC drives, cranes, hoists, heaters and lamps as well as such apparatus as battery-chargers, plating equipment and transit systems.

3TC48 to 3TC56

The contactors must be mounted in the position indicated in drawing. Contactors can be tilted up to 22.5 off the vertical.
