Usually utilization category is mentioned in most of the switch gear, with the above contactor stating to be used under AC1 - resistive load & AC3 for motor usage. In electrical engineering utilization categories are defined by IEC standards [1] and indicate the type of electrical load and duty cycle of the loads to ease selection of contactors ...
The current rating of the contactor depends on utilization category. Example IEC categories in standard 60947 are described as: AC-1 - Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, resistance furnaces; AC-2 - Starting of slip-ring motors: starting, switching-off; AC-3 - Starting of squirrel-cage motors and switching-off only after the motor is up ...
NEMA contact ratings are how much current at a rated voltage a relay or other pilot device can switch. The current rating of smaller NEMA contactors or their auxiliaries are defined by NEMA ICS 5: Industrial Control and Systems, Control Circuit and Pilot Devices [1] standard.
Motor control centers are usually used for low voltage three-phase alternating current motors from 208 V to 600 V. Medium-voltage motor control centers are made for large motors running at 2300 V to around 15000 V, using vacuum contactors for switching and with separate compartments for power switching and control.
Measurement category is a method of classification by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) [1] of live electric circuits used in measurement and testing of installations and equipment, usually in the relation within a building (residential or industrial).
MIL-STD-704 Aircraft Electrical Power Characteristics is a United States Military Standard that defines a standardized power interface between a military aircraft and its equipment and carriage stores, covering such topics as voltage, frequency, phase, power factor, ripple, maximum current, electrical noise and abnormal conditions (overvoltage and undervoltage), for both AC and DC systems.
A related term sealing current (aka wetting current or fritting current) is widely used in the telecommunication industry describing a small constant DC current (typically 1-20 mA) in copper wire loops in order to avoid contact oxidation of contacts and splices.
