C30CN Mechanically and Electrically Held
Product Description
The C30CNM 30A
Mechanically Held Lighting
Contactors from Eaton’s
Electrical Sector are designed
for industrial, commercial and
outdoor lighting applications
where efficient control is
required. The mechanically
held operation ensures that
the contactor will not switch
to OFF during control power
failure. It also ensures the
removal of coil from the circuit
for noise-free operation and
the elimination of all coil
losses after the contactor is
latched. The control module
microprocessor validates
the control signal before
operation, so it will not
respond to momentary
voltage spikes of noise.
The operation command
has a built-in 0.4 second delay
to avoid multiple short-term
commands that can cause
contact fatigue or failure. Also,
the feedback loop prevents
the contactor from getting out
of sequence with switches,
even after power failures.
Application Description
The mechanically held lighting
contactor provides effective
control in applications such as
office buildings, industrial
plants, hospitals, stadiums,
airports, and so on.
They are ideal for applications
that require quiet, energy-
efficient operation.
Designed to handle different
load types:
●Tungsten (incandescent
filament)
●Ballast (fluorescent and
mercury arc)
●High intensity discharge
(HID)
●Non-motor AC resistive
●Single- and three-phase
motor ratings
Operation
Three-wire control is
the choice for use with
momentary devices allowing
operation from multiple
locations. A momentary pulse
of energy operates the
contactor while a second
pulse on an alternate leg
returns the contactor to its
original state.
Two-wire control is the
choice for single output
automatic operation or for
operation from single-pole
devices. When voltage is
applied to the input terminals
the contactor is latched into
position (coil is removed
from the circuit while control
voltage is continuously
supplied). When control
voltage is removed, the
latch is disengaged and the
contactor is returned to its
original state.
