Technical Information
A. Recommended selection of contactors for hoisting duty
In hoisting operation, slipring motors are generally used. For this typical hoisting duty, we recommend the contactors listed in the
following table.
Contactor Stator Protection Rotor Protection Max rotor
Type Maximum load current with hoisting motor. Maximum load current with hoisting motor(Delta circuit). standstill
For intermittent duty S3 For intermittent duty S3 voltage
25% 40% 60% 100% 25% 40% 60% 100%
3TF50 00 0A 100 88 78 65 150 130 115 95 1000
3TF52 00 0A 145 130 115 95 220 195 170 150 1000
3TF54 00 0A 225 200 180 160 340 300 270 240 1000
3TF56 00 0A 355 325 290 250 530 490 435 375 1000
When 3 conducting paths are connected in parallel, the maximum load current rises to 2.5 times the value given in this table. When 2 conducting paths are
connected in parallel, it rises to 1.8 times the value given in this table.
B. Selection of contactors for contact endurance: with normal
and inching operation
Contactors suffer more erosion during inching operation than
when stopping motors from a steady speed, i.e. normal
operation. With slipring motors the starting current can be up to
2.5 times the rated current of the motor which means that this
current has to be broken when inching is taking place. During
normal operation, on the other hand, only the rated current has to
be broken under full-load; under part-load it is even less.
Determining contact endurance from AC-2 duty (Ic = 2.5 x Ie) will
only give correct results when 100% inching operation is
involved.

The maximum permitted current (e.g. locked-rotor current of motor) must not
exceed the values given in the “Max. starting current and attainable contact
endurance” column. The values cannot be increased by paralleling pole
assemblies.
C. Selection of contactors for contact endurance: with mixed
operation
When mixed operation is involved, i.e. primarily breaking of the
motor rated current but with some breaking of higher currents
due to inching, the endurance of the contacts can be calculated
approximately from the following equation:
Where
X = Contact endurance with mixed operation cycles.
A = Contact endurance with normal operation (Ia = Ie) in
operating cycles, from Fig. 1.
B = Contact endurance with inching operation
(Ia = Multiple of Ie) in operating cycles, from Fig. 2,
Breaking current Ia/AC-2 = 2.5xIe.
C = Proportion of inching in total operating Cycles in %.
