GENERAL INFORMATION
Fig. 1 - Type 456 AC Air-Break Contactor
INTRODUCTION
The Type 456 5KV AC air· break contactor is designed
primarily for general alternating current motor starting
applications. It is particularly suited for applications re-
Quiring frequent starting, reversing, plugging or dynamic
braking.
CONTACTOR RATINGS
~A
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The basic contaetor is of compact design. 24 in. deep. 16
in. wide,
and 28 in. high. The contacts are double break and
have a contactangleof45degrees which facilitates natural
arc movement into the arc chute. This angle also provides a
wedging action fOT higher effective contact pressure. Dust
and dirt slide otT.
The accessibility of the contactorallows fast and conven-
ient inspection and testing. The Type 456 contactor fea-
tures lift out arc chutes. Hinged blow-out pole pieces swing
back to expose all contacts for quick inspection and re-
placement.
The supporting base is of cast aluminum. The pushrods,
contact support blocks and other insulating parts are con-
structed of glass polyester. All insulation in contact with
high voltage current carrying parts is flame retardant and
track resistant.
An auxiliary contact panel assembly for magnet opera-
tion consists of a silicon rectifier. three NO - NC auxiliary
switches and one NC long wipe switch which are mounted
on an aluminum plate. The auxiliary switches are operated
by an auxiliary drive link from the magnet armature.
The stationary contact ~ssemblies are mounted on a
glass polyester support bh.l.;r. along with the blowout coil
assemblies.
One terminal of each blowout is connected to
the stationary contact assembly.

NOTE: If any signs of damage are apparent, file a claim
immediately with the transportation company and notify
your Siemens-Allis Sales Office. As much identification as
possible should accompany the claim with a description of
the damage.
STORING
If the contactor can be set up immediately in its perma-
nent location, it is advisable to do so, even though it may
not be placed in operation for some time, Contactor should
bestoredindoors in a clean dry dust~free heated area where
condensation cannot OCCur.
INSTALLATION
GENERAL
Installation shall be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI, and NFPA 70 Standards.
• •
MOUNTING
The contactor should be installed in a clean dry heated
place with good ventilation. It should be readily accessible
for
cleaning and inspection and should be carefully set up
and leveled on its supporting foundation and secured in
place.
All
adjustments have been made at the factory before
shipping and generally no change is required. See that all
contact surfaces are clean and smooth, and that current.
carrying parts are not damaged,
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Inspect all insulated wiring to see that no damage has
resulted from installing the contactor. Test the high volt-
age wiring for possible grounds or short circuits.
WARNING: Dielectric testing is hazardous, and should be
conducted only by trained personnel. Refer to test device
instructions for safety precautions.
A
high potential test at 2% times the nominal system
voltage plus 2000 volts applied for one minute between
phases and from all phases to ground is the preferred
method. Be sure to disconnect any devices (control power
transformer, etc.) from the circuit which could be dam-
aged by the test voltage. If a hi-pot tester is unavailable,
then a Megger test at 1000 volts is a suitable second
choice. -
Make sure that all current-carrying parts outside the
contactor have adequate current-carrying capacity and
are correctly insulated in accordance with the require-
ments of the National Electrical Code (NEC)' All electri-
cal connections should be made carefully per furnished
wiring diagram. Tighten all lugs to recommended torque
values. If crimp lugs are supplied, use recommended tools
only. IMPORTANT:To
obtain correct magnetic actionfrom
blowouts, connect
the load wires (motorI furnace, etc.) to
the terminals on the rear of the blow-out coils. (Refer to
Figure 3.).

OPERATION
PRE-ENERGIZATION CHECK
WARNING: Perfonn the following checks before energiz-
ing the high voltage circuit:
1. Be sure all arc chutes are correctly installed and both
phase harriers are in place.
2. Operate the contactor by hand to be sure that all parts
move freely. If the contactor has been stored for some
time, clean
any excessive amounts of dust and dirt that
may have accumulated.
3. Connect only control power and operate the contactor
electrically several times. At 85 to 110% of rated con·
trol voltage (see operating data), the contactor should
pick-up and seal cleanly with no pumping or chatter-
ing.
The contactor may nowbeplaced in serviceby connecting
main incomingcables. The contactor must be appropriately
guarded or isolated before energizing the high voltage cir-
cuit. Operating characteristics ofcontactors which are in-
stalled in SpaceMaker-II carriages are described in sepa-
rate instruction book ICD 6031.

program, The frequency of inspection, periodic cleaning
and preventive maintenance schedule willdepend upon the
operating conditions, NFPA Publication 70B "Electrical
Equipment Maintenance" may be used as a guide to estab-
lish such a program. The following items should be in-
cluded on
any comprehensive maintenance check list:

ARC CHUTE AND PHASE BARRIER
REMOVAL AND RE-INSTALLATION
Refer to Figure 4
To remove
an arc chute, lift the back end of the chute
until it releases, then lift the entire chute upward, slide
forward and out.
To re-install an arc chute, slide in rear of arc chute first,
then push front arc runner clip down over front stationary
contact until notches in front of chute fit into mating
grooves in contactor insulator block. Now push rear of arc
chute down so that rear arc runner clip engages over rear
stationary contact. When properly seated, horizontal
grooves on sides of arc chute should line up with top of
blow-out plates.
The two phase barriers may be removed by lifting
straight up, then sliding forwarn ".nd out. To re-install,
reverse this procedure making sure that notches in bal ~ iers
face to the rear (load) side of the contactor.
WARNING: DO NOT ENERGIZE CONTACTOR UN-
LESS ARC CHUTES AND PHASE BARRIERS ARE IN-
STALLED.
Flg_ 4 - Arc Chute aod Phase Barrier· Installation

MAINCONTACTINSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
All main contacts are made from a material specially
suited for making and breaking high electrical currents
while resisting welding and erosion due to arcing. The
contacts are brazed to a copper alloy base material which
serves to supportthem, C8rr)' electrical current and conduct
heat away. This base material is subject to erosion and
welding if exposed to arcing; therefore contacts must be
replaced when the contact material is worn nearly to the
point ofexposing the base material. Asa guide, the contacts
should be replacedwhen approximately 3/32 inch of contact
material has been eroded away.
CAUTION: Contacts must be replaced before any part of
one contact makes contact with the base material of its
mating contact.
The interval between inspections will vary with the na-
ture ofthe load being switched. It is recommended that the
contacts be inspected after the first 1,000operations. If only
minor pitting is observed, then the inspection interval can
be increased. Evidence of heavy pitting and erosion of con-
tact material means the contacts should be checked more
frequently to
detennine if the wear allowance of3/32 inch is
being approached.
Refer to
Figure 9
When contacts require
replacement, replace contacts (3)
and (35) and springs (32) on all three phases at the same
time. To gain access to all contacts, remove two phase
barriers and all three arc chutes (14). Then swing back
hinged blowout coil assemblies. All main contacts are now
accessible for replacement.
Remove
hex lock nuts (80) allowingcap screws(74) to slip
out ofpushrod (28) Movable contact (35) is now accessible
for replacement.
First remove movable contact assembly. Remove hex
head nut with lockwasher (85) (84). Stationary contact (3)
may now be removed for replacement.
MAGNET COIL REPLACEMENT
Refer to Figure 9
Remove wire oonnections from coil. Loosen
hex head
machine screw (89). Slide magnet assembly from the base
of the yoke(16). Machinescrew(89) along with magnet core
(17)
can then be liftedfrom coil along with washers (18) (19)
(20) (21) (94). Replace coil and reassemble following the
reverse procedure.
AUXILIARY CONTACT ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 9
Tighten auxiliary drive link (39) to coupling angle (46)
just enough to remove excessive free play. Do not over-
tighten.
ARC CHUTE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The arc chutes should be inspected as part of routine
maintenance each time the contacts are inspected. In ser-
vice, the arc chute ceramicwill become discolored slightly
due to nonnal arcing as the contactor operates. Dust and
dirt will also tend to accumulate after a period of time. The
following procedure should be used to clean the arc chutes
after they have been removed from the contactor:
1.
Blowout dust and dirt by directing dry compressed air
from the bottom of the arc chute up through the spaces
between the ceramic arc splitters. The air should also be
directed over the surfaces of the ceramic flash plates
located in th~ lower ponion of the chute <refer to Figure
5). •
2.' Using a cloth or by light sanding, remove any additional
loose residue (carbon, etc.) from the flash plates. Pay
particular attention to the areas which have vertical
grooves on the ceramic surface. Do not use abrasives
which might embed conducting particles in the ceramic
(emery cloth. wire brush. etc.).

Fig. 5
In addition to periodic cleaning, the arc chutes should be
inspectedfor any obvious physical damage such as cracked
or missing ceramic pieces. Small chips or slight cracks in
the ceramic should not cause concern as long as no large
pieces are missing or are in danger of falling out of the
assembly. If any components require replacement, the
complete arc chute assembly must be replaced.
CAUTION: When replacing arc chutes, refer to important
ordering information at the end of this manual.
After prolongedperiodsof operation at medium-ta-heavy
currents or after the contactor has been required to inter-
rupt at or near its full 50MVA rating, heavy electrically
conductive deposits may accumulate on the flash plates
which would interfere with proper contactor operation. In
the event of this, it is recommended that a dielectric or
Megger test be perfonned as follows to verify dielectric
strength of the flash plate sufaces. If a Megger is used, the
recommended test voltage is 1000 volts.
WARNING: Dielectric test voltages are hazardous. Refer
to test device instructions for safety precautions.
1. Clip Megger or dielectric tester leads onto the flash
plates at the points shown in Figure 6 using alligator
clips or the equivalent.
2. The area between the clips should withstand 9KV
AC(13KV DC) for one minute or should indicate a resis-
tance of at least 100 Megohms. Be sure to test both left
and right sides of the arc chute. If either side fails to
meet the dielectric requirement. then disassembly and
cleaning is necessary before placing the arc chute back
into service. If one arc chute fails the test, then disas-
sembly
and cleaning of all three arc chutes is recom~
mended.
PERIODIC CLEANING
Accumulation of dust and foreign material such as coal
dust, cement dust or lamp black must be blown ofT the
contactor, all surfaces must be wiped clean at regular in-
tervals. Dust can collect moisture, causing voltage break-
down.

RECOMMENDED TORQUE VALUES
When making bolted assemblies, the following consider·
atian should be generally followed. The tightening torques
are determined
by the size of hardware used.
1. Metal-to-Metal- Apply standard tightening torque as
listed:

2. Metal-to-Insert Molded in Compound Part -Apply ap-
proximately 2/3 of standard tightening torque.
3. Compound-to-InsertMolded in Compound Part -Apply
approximately
112 of standard tightening torque.
4. Compound-to-Compound -Apply

standard tightening torque.
DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING OF ARC CHUTES
CAUTION: Arc chute disassembly should be performed
only if the dielectric test described in these instructions was
not passed.
Disassembly Procedure (Refer to Figure 7)
1. Lay the arc chute on its side.
2. Rernove the hardware which attaches the two arc chute
halves at four locations marked (1) in the figure.
3. Loosen, hut do not remove, the four 8rc runner attach-
ment screws marked (2).
4. Carefullylift otT oneof the arc chute halves to expose the
ceramic barrier stack and the arc runner and clip as-
semblies. Refer to Figure 8.
5. Remove the barrier stack and the arc runners.
6. Clean the ceramic flash plates on the bottom of the arc
chute halves by dry nonconductive sandblasting. After
sandblasting, all of the dark colored deposits should be
removed and the ceramic sulfaces should appear white.
7. Wipe otT the arc chute halves with a dry cloth and reas-
semble the arc chute by reversing the disassembly pro-
cedure.
The ceramic barrier stack can be installed either
way but the "V" notches in the splitter plates must be
toward the bottom.
8. Repeat the dielectric test to ensure that dielectric
strength has beenrestored to the flash plate surfaces, in
which case the arc chutes can now be returned to ser-
vice.
It is recommended that disassembly and sandblasting of
the arc chute be done no more than three (3) times during
the service life of any arcchute. Mter this point,otherparts
of the arc chute may have become contaminated to the
extent that performance is degraded and the entire arc
chute should be replaced.

r------- ---IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN REPLACING ARC CHUTES------
OBSOLETE ARC
CHUTE
(14-422-044-501)
REPLACEMENT
.... RCCHUTE04
The arc chute for type 456 contactors manufactured priorto January,
1980 and pictured at upper left is obsolete and no longeravailable as a
replacement part.
This arc chute has been superseded with a new design which is
smaller and lighter. The older design arc chute was comprised of two
molded
light gray halves with interleaved arc splitter fins. The newer
design, shown
at lower left, is made of two dark gray plastic halves
which house
an integral ceramic arc splitter assembly.
The two arc chute designs are interchangeable, with one very im-
portant exception - THEY MUST NOT BE MIXED IN THE SAME
CONTACTOR. If arc chutes of different types are mixed, then inter-
rupting duty between individual poles will be unequal causing sub-
stantial reduction in the interrupting capacity of the contactor. When
contactors employing
the obsolete arc chute design require replace-
ment of one or more arc chutes, a complete set of three of the newer
ceramic-type
arc chutes must be ordered and installed. Similar in-
structions applyfor two-pole contactors, exceptonly two arcchutes are
required.

TYPE 456-0 DYNAMIC BRAKING CONTACTOR
The Type456-D Dynamic Braking contactoris similar in
construction to the normally-open Type 456 air-break de-
sign. The main difference is in the magnetic actuator used
to open and close the main contacts, and in the fact that the
entire arc interrupter assembly is omitted. Two pressure
springs located below the movable contact carrier are used
to hold the main contacts in the normally-closed position.
Energizing the magnet coil opens the contacts against
spring pressure. and the contacts will remain open until
control power is removed.
Dynamic braking contactors are used to connect braking
resistors across the stator winding of synchronous motors
to facilitate emergency stopping. Since this contactor is
supplied without arc chutes or magnetic blowouts. it must
never be applied in a circuit requiring power interruption.
r-------------WARNING------------~
DO NOT USE DYNAMIC BRAKE CONTACTOR
IN CIRCUITS WHERE POWER INTERRUP-
TION IS REQUIRED.
The parts list given below for the Type 456-D contactor
includes only components which are unique to the spring-
closed design, To find parts not listed below. refer to the
3-pole air break contactor parts list and exploded view.
