what is the meaning write of AC1,AC2,AC3 .....power contactor..

Answer / nitin tyagi

AC-1 - This category applies to all AC loads where the power factor is more than 0.95. These are primarily non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, such as heating. Breaking the arc remains easy with minimal arcing and contact wear.

AC-3 - This category applies to squirrel cage motors with breaking during normal running of the motor.
On closing, the contactor makes the inrush current, which is about 5 to 7 times the rated full load current of the motor.
On opening, the contactor breaks the rated full load current of the motor.

what is the meaning write of AC1,AC2,AC3 .....power contactor..

Answer / abdul rehman khalid

This applies to all AC devices (loads) with a power factor of at least 0.95 (cos phi greater than or equal to 0.95). 
Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.
This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running. 
Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units, etc.
