RP133
The Jennings RP133 vacuum contactor may be small – only 11.8″H x 10.5″W x 5.5″D – and weigh less than 30 pounds, but it can take on requirements of the most demanding equipment. Using a trio of Jennings vacuum interrupters, the three-phase unit provides a short contact-to-contact gap required to interrupt the circuit for highly reliable operation. The contact materials are rated for 1.5 kV, 450 A load life and 4500 A fault current. Designed to withstand the frequent switching required to control furnaces and large air conditioning motors, the RP133 is commonly used to protect power transformers and DC power supplies. Use it to switch capacitor banks for voltage regulation and power factor correction as a means of reducing operating costs. Reliable and durable, the RP133 can also be used in motor controllers that operate production and processing equipment, mining and construction equipment,
earth movers or carriers, power shovels, rock crushers and conveyors.
Features RP133
- Sealed main contacts provide a minimum of 1 million maintenance-free open and close operations
- Reliable operation in harsh temperature extremes ranging from -20 °C to 70 °C
- Versatility for use with heavy-duty motors, power equipment and motor controllers
