Operating principle
The front-mounted block mechanism of the UA..RA contactors ensures:
– early making of the auxiliary "PA" poles with respect to the main "PP" poles
– automatic return to the open position of the auxiliary "PA" poles after the main poles are closed.
When the coil is energized, the early making auxiliary poles connect the capacitor to the network via the set of 3 resistors. The damping
resistors attenuate the first current peak and the second inrush current when the main contacts begin to make. Once the main poles are in the
closed position, the auxiliary poles automatically break.
When the coil is de-energized, the main poles break ensuring the breaking of the capacitor bank.
The contactor can then begin a new cycle.

The insertion of resistors allows to damp the highest current peak of the capacitor when switching on, whatever its level.
