Siemens 3MT70020JA116AP2 Capacitor Duty Contactor – 20 kVAR, 415 V AC, 3-Phase

The Siemens 3MT70020JA116AP2 is a 3MT7 capacitor duty contactor designed for switching capacitor loads in three-phase power factor correction and automatic capacitor bank applications. With a specified capacitor rating of 20 kVAR at 415 V AC, 3-phase, 50 Hz, it is suitable for electrical systems requiring reliable and controlled switching of capacitor stages.

This Siemens capacitor duty contactor is designed specifically for capacitor switching applications, where energizing a capacitor can result in high transient inrush currents. It is therefore suitable for APFC panels, capacitor banks and reactive power compensation systems where capacitor stages are switched according to the power factor requirements of the installation.

The 3MT70020JA116AP2 can be considered for industrial plants, commercial facilities, machine installations and electrical distribution systems requiring power factor correction.
