Surge suppressors for contactor coils

Technical data
Varistor RV5/50 RV5/133 RV5/250 RV5/440
Rated control circuit voltage Uc 24...50 V AC 50...133 V AC 110...250 V AC 250...440 V AC
24...50 V DC 50...133 V DC 110...250 V DC 250...440 V DC
Residual overvoltage (clipping voltage) 132 V AC 270 V AC 480 V AC 825 V AC
132 V DC 270 V DC 480 V DC 825 V DC
Opening time growth factor 1.1...1.5
Operating temperature -20...+70 °C
Connection to the coil terminals (parallel mounting) Clip-on for both fixing and connection.
Fixing Clipped onto the top part of the contactor base without change in contactor overall dimensions.
Advantages High energy absorption: good damping - Unpolarized system.
Drawback Clipping as from Uvdr*, thus voltage front up to this point.
*Uvdr = Varistor operating voltage (voltage dependent resistor), tolerance ± 10 %.

RC type RC5-2/50 RC5-2/133 RC5-2/250 RC5-2/440
Rated control circuit voltage Uc 24...50 V AC 50...133 V AC 110...250 V AC 250...440 V AC
Residual overvoltage (clipping voltage) 2 to 3 x Uc max.
Opening time growth factor 1.2...1.3
Operating temperature -20...+70 °C
Connection to the coil terminals (parallel mounting) Clip-on for both fixing and connection.
Fixing Clipped onto the top part of the contactor base without change in contactor overall dimensions.
Advantages Very fast clipping - Attenuation of steep fronts and thus of high frequencies. No operating delays.

Transil diode RT5/32 RT5/65 RT5/90 RT5/150 RT5/264
