---|---|---|
Piston Wear Life
|
Real. Used in Lambda p calculation.
|
The wear life of the piston in number of cycles.
|
Load Type
|
Choice List. Used in Cv, Ci, and Cpf calculations.
|
Enter the type of load. Choices are:
• AC Resistive
• AC Inductive
• DC
|
Operating Voltage
|
Real (Volts). Used in Cv calculation.
|
The operating voltage in volts across the contactor.
|
Rated Voltage
|
Real (Volts). Used in Cv calculation.
|
The rated voltage in volts of the contactor.
|
Operating Current
|
Real (Amperes). Used in Ci calculation.
|
The operating current in amps through the contactor.
|
Rated Current
|
Real (Amperes). Used in Ci calculation.
|
The rated current in amps of the contactor.
|
Power Factor
|
Real. Used in Cpf calculation.
|
Required only for AC inductive loads.
The multiplying factor for power factor for the contactor. Common values are from 0.25 to 1.0.
|
Temperature Rise
|
Real (Degrees C). Used in Ct calculation.
|
The temperature rise from the ambient subassembly temperature to this component. The temperature rise plus the ambient temperature is equal to the operating temperature of the device.
|
Rated Temperature
|
Real (Degrees C). Used in Ct calculation.
|
The maximum temperature rating specified by the manufacturer, or the maximum design temperature.
|
Cycles/Hour
|
Real
|
The number of cycles/hour. This is required to convert failure ratings from failures/cycle to failure/hour
