Product Description Ordering Key
This new range of solid state
contactors presents a unique
opportunity to maximize effi-
ciency in panel space and is an
evolution of solid state switch-
es for which Carlo Gavazzi is
very well known.
The latest technologies in elec-
tronic and power semicondcu-
tor design allows a slim design
incorporating product ratings
at a surrounding temperature
of 40°C. The smallest width is
17.5mm and is rated at
20 AAC. Power and control
teminals allow for safe looping
of cables. Voltage transient
protection is standard across
the output with a varistor.
Specifications are stated at
25°C unless otherwise noted.

Note:
• Control input lines must be installed together to maintain products' susceptability to Radio Frequency interference.Use of AC solid state relays may,
according to the application and the load current, cause conducted radio interferences. Use of mains filters may be necessary for cases where the user must
meet E.M.C requirements. The capacitor values given inside the filtering specification tables should be taken only as indications, the filter attenuation will
depend on the final application. DC input type require surge suppression for full compliance to EN55011.
• Performance Criteria 1: No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed when the product is operated as intended.
• Performance Criteria 2: During the test, degradation of performance or partial loss of function is allowed. owever when the test is complete the
product should return operating as intended by itself.
• Performance Criteria 3: Temporary loss of function is allowed, provided the function can be restored by manual operation of the controls.

Short Circuit Protection
Protection Co-ordination, Type 1 vs Type 2:
Type 1 protection implies that after a short circuit, the device under test will no longer be in a functioning state. In type 2 co-ordination the device under test
will still be functional after the short circuit. In both cases, however the short circuit has to be interrupted. The fuse between enclosure and supply shall not
open. The door or cover of the enclosure shall not be blown open. There shall be no damage to conductors or terminals and the condcutors shall not sepa-
rate from terminals. There shall be no breakage or cracking of insulating bases to the extent that the integrity of the mounting of live parts is impaired.
Discharge of parts or any risk of fire shall not occur.
The product variants listed in the table hereunder are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5,000 A rms Symmetrical Amperes, 600
Volts maximum when protected by fuses. Tests at 5,000 A were performed with RK5 fuses, time delay; please refer to the table below for maximum allowed
ampere rating of the fuse. Use fuses only.
