<strong>CA8</strong> Miniature <strong>Contactors</strong> – Life Load Curves<br />

Life-Load Curves<br />

• Locate the Rated Operational<br />

Current (l e ) along the bottom of<br />

the chart <strong>and</strong> follow the graph<br />

lines up to the intersection of the<br />

appropriate contactor’s life-load<br />

curve.<br />

• Read the estimated contact life<br />

along the vertical axis.<br />

NOTE: The life-load curves shown here are based on Sprecher+Schuh tests<br />

according to the requirements defined in IEC 60947-4-1. Since contact life in any<br />

given application is dependent on environmental conditions <strong>and</strong> duty cycle, actual<br />

application contact life may vary from that indicated by the curves shown here.<br />

➊ For electrical life at 460V (60Hz), reduce the values from the 400/415VAC (50Hz)<br />

chart by 5%.<br />
