Component Installation 2-25

1503-IN050E-EN-P – June 2013

A control power transformer (CPT) is not supplied as

part of the OEM starter kit. This procedure only de-

scribes how to connect wires to the contactor that will

supply power to the control circuit. It is the user’s

responsibility to determine the correct CPT, primary fuse

sizes, power wire, lugs and current transformer for the

control circuit.

1) Remove the #10-32 hex head screw securing the fuse clips at the front

of the contactor (see Figure 2.24).

2) Attach lugs with a 90-degree bend (AB part # G6666 – suitable for

#12-10 AWG wire) and suitable power wire utilizing a #10 fl at washer

and lock washer .

3) Torque the screws to 32 in.·lbs.

4) Use wire clips provided on the contactor to fasten the control power

transformer cables in position. This is required to avoid cables coming

into contact with live parts and to meet dielectric test requirements.
