Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use

AECTB38E 201811-T

TYPES OF LOAD

■ Resistance load

Resistance load is a power factor of 1 (cos

φ = 1) where the load

is only for the resistance portion. The displayed switch rating

indicates the current capacity when using AC current.

■ DC load

Differing from AC, since the direction of current is ﬁxed for DC,

the continuous arc time lengthens when the same voltage is

applied.

■ Incandescent lamp load

Since an inrush current of 10 to 15 times the rated current ﬂows

for an instant when the switch is turned on for the lamp,

adhesion of the contacts may occur. Therefore, please take into

consideration this transient current when selecting a switch.

■ Induction load

Since arc generation due to reverse voltage can cause contact

failure to occur when there is an induction load (in relays,

solenoids and buzzers, etc.), we recommend you insert a

suitable spark quenching circuit (see ﬁgure below).

■ Motor load

Contacts may adhere due to the starting current at the start of

motor operation which is three to eight times the steady-state

current. Although it differs depending on the motor, since a

current ﬂows that is several times that of the nominal current,

please select a switch taking into consideration the values in the

table below. To make the motor rotate in reverse, use an ON-

OFF-ON switch and take measures to prevent a multiplier

current (starting current + reverse current) from ﬂowing.

A current that is approximately two times that of the starting

current will ﬂow when reverse rotation is caused during

operation. Also, when using for a load that will cause transient

phenomena such as when operating the motor in reverse

rotation or switching the poles, an arc short (circuit short) may

occur due to the time lag between poles when switching. Please

be careful.

■ Capacitor load

In the case of mercury lamps, ﬂorescent lamps and the

capacitor loads of capacitor circuits, since an extremely large

inrush current ﬂows when the switch is turned on, please

measure that transient value with the actual load and then either

use the product keeping within the range of the rated current or

after verifying the actual load.
