1370/1379 Contactors Connection Guide and Parts List Description The Bulletin 1370 DC Contactors are electromagnetically held contactors specially designed to switch the armature current form the DC Drive module to at shunt wound DC motor. When used with the appropriate control logic design, these contactors can disconnect the motor armature from the DC Drive module when a stop is initiated or in the event of a power failure. The contactors feature a topwired design with all power connections at the top of the contactor. This document contains the information needed to install, connect and maintain the Bulletin 1370 DC Contactor. WARNING: The National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment. Installation must comply with specifications regarding wire types, conductor sizes, branch circuit protection and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. CAUTION: Incorrectly applied of installed DC contactors can result in component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring of application errors, such as improper wire sizing or excessive ambient temperatures may result in a malfunction of these devices. Bulletin 1370 DC Contactors have the following features: Contacts - the double break silver cadmium oxide contacts are weld resistant for improved reliability. Movable contacts are wedge shaped, while the stationary contacts have a unique “fold back” design. On contact opening, this “fold back” design generates a strong magnetic field which quickly throws the arc off the contact surface of the chamber. Coil - The contactor coils are hot pressure molded in thermoset epoxy to protect against mechanical damage and harmful environments. The coil shunt plate is designed to retard the magnetic flux until the voltage applied reaches the “pick up” voltage. Each coil is provided with an exclusive thermal cutout which is designed to open on excessive currents of misapplied voltages. Magnet - The high efficiency magnet has a permanent air gap. Pole face wear cannot affect the air gap and cause magnetic sticking due to residual magnetism. Each magnet lamination is phosphate coated to provide ample resistance to corrosion.

If any part of the equipment will not be installed when it is unpacked, it must be stored in a clean, dry place. The storage temperature must be between - 30°C and +65°C (-22°F and + 149°F) and a humidity range of 5% to 95%, non-condensing, to guard against damage to components. After unpacking, check the material received against the Bill of Lading to assure that the nameplate description of each item agrees with the material ordered. When checking the items received, refer to the Catalog Number Explanations provided in Figures 3 and 4. Inspect the items for physical damage such as cracks in moldings or insulators. 1370 N C 56 First Position Second Position Third Position Fourth Position Bulletin No. Type Contactor Current Rating Letter N Description Non Reversing D NonReversing w/DB Reversing w/DB R Number 56 Amperes 56 110 110 180 180 280 280 360 360 Figure 3 - Contactor Catalog Number Explanation 1370 LG 40 First Position Second Position Third Position Bulletin No. Lug Kit Lug Current Rating Number 40 52 56 68 92 104 110 120 140 160 180 204 228 248 268 280 Amperes 40 52 56 68 92 104 110 120 140 160 180 204 228 248 268 280 Figure 4 - Lug Kit Catalog Number Explanation Operation Faxback Document # 1570 Web location http://www.ab.com/drives Page 5 of 12 When the coil is energized, the magnet closes. The contact carrier moves upward into place and closes the power contacts. Movable contact springs are used to provide proper contact seating. Shock absorbing pads are provided in the cover and base assemblies to reduce the impact of pickup and drop-out. Installation The contactor must be vertically mounted in a clean, dry location. Oils, coolants and other debris must be kept from settling on the contactor. The choice of an appropriate NEMA enclosure type for the application is important. Special considerations should also be given to the wire bend radius and wire clearances. WARNING: The contactor must be mounted in a vertical position. Failure to observe this mounting practice will result in improper operation of the contactor and personal injury. Refer to the National Electrical Code and Local Codes for specific installation guidelines. The supplied surge suppressor will reduce noise interference that could adversely affect Drive performance. Install the suppressor on the contactor coil using the instructions provided below. Reversing contactors are supplied with factory installed suppressors on each coil. CAUTION: Component damage may occur if more than 132V AC is applied to the suppressor. Suppressor Installation 1. 2. 3. 4. Loosen coil terminal clamps. Slide surge suppressor onto coil terminals. Place coil circuit conductors between suppressor terminals and coil terminal clamps. Tighten coil terminal clamps securely. Wiring Figure 5 shows the typical wiring diagrams for the DC contactors. Refer to Figures 6 and 7 for specific terminal identification. When wiring Dynamic Braking Resistors, use wire with a current capacity at least 1/2 that of the full load current rating of the motor. IMPORTANT: Consult the National Electrical Code and local codes for specific guidelines on wire size and type for dynamic braking resistor application. All DC Drive module power connections (Keps-nuts) are to be installed to the following torque settings: 1/4 inch bolt - 35 in-lbs. 3/8 inch bolt - 75 in-lbs. 1/2 inch bolt - 150 in-lbs. 3/4 inch bolt - 300 in-lbs. Faxback Document # 1570 Web location http://www.ab.com/drives Page 6 of 12 Faxback Document # 1570 Web location http://www.ab.com/drives Page 7 of 12 Auxiliary Contact Installation Auxiliary contact assemblies can be used on all contactor ratings, 56 through 280 amperes. The N.O. auxiliary contact is designed to be open when the contactor is de-energized. The N.C. auxiliary contact is designed to be closed when the contactor is de-energized. A (1) N.O. auxiliary contact assembly is supplied on the contactor in position P1 for use with the DC Drive module enable function. Reversing contactors have an additional N.O. and N.C. auxiliary contact position P4. The N.C. contact is used to electrically interlock the forward and reverse contactor coil circuits. The N.O. contact is used with the control circuit forward and reverse selection function to prevent changing the direction once the Drive is in operation. Additional auxiliary contact assemblies may be installed in positions P2, P3 and P4 on non-reversing contactors. On reversing 180 and 280 ampere contactors, additional contact assemblies may be installed in all P2 and P3 positions. Placement on 56 and 110 ampere contactors will depend on the type of contact assembly that can be installed in the vacant P2 and P3 positions between the forward and reverse contactors. Installation WARNING: Open and lock-out main supply disconnect and all other power source disconnects to avoid hazard of electrical shock or injury form unintended actuation of controlled equipment. 1. 2. 3. 4. Turn the Drive circuit breaker OFF and remove cabinet power. Align arrows on the reverse side of the contact and locate the tabs. Insert the auxiliary contact, tabs first, into the appropriate position on the side of the contactor. Push, to lock the contact in place. Select the desired terminals and connect the corresponding wires. Replacement Refer to the following steps if replacement of the Auxiliary contact becomes necessary. 1. 2. Turn the Drive circuit breaker OFF and remove cabinet power. Loosen the Coil Cover and pull the auxiliary contact straight out. Maintenance The Bulletin 1370 DC Contactors are constructed such that a minimum amount of maintenance is needed. As a result of normal use, the contacts will eventually begin to deteriorate. Periodic inspection of these contacts should be part of any Drive system preventative maintenance program. If contact inspection reveals severe erosion on the power pole contacts, it is recommended that the power poles (if possible) or contactor be replaced. Replacing the contactor will help reduce the effects of uneven and unequal contact closings. If the contactor has not been used for extended period of time, a brief inspection for mechanical integrity and contact corrosion should be made before use.
