What do the utilisation categories AC1 and AC3 mean for the TeSys contactors?

Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions.

• AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor 0.95. Examples of use: resistive load, heating, and distribution.
• 
  AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running. Examples of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, and air conditioning units.
