8 These load-life curves are based on rockwell automation tests according to the requirements defined in IEC 947-4. Actual contact life may vary based on the application, duty cycle, and environmental conditions from that indicated by the find the Contactor s estimated electrical life, follow these guidelines: Choose the appropriate graph that most closely approximates the utilization category of the application. Locate the intersection of the life-load curve of the appropriate Contactor with the application s operational current (Ie) found on the horizontal axis. Read the estimated contact life in millions of operations along the vertical Life for Mixed Utilization Categories AC3 and AC4In many applications, the utilization category cannot be defined as either purely AC3 or AC4. In those applications, the electrical life of the Contactor can be estimated from the following equation:Where:L mixed= Approximate contact life for a mixed AC3/AC4 utilization category applicationL AC3= Approximate contact life in operations for AC3 utilization category (from AC3 life-load curves below)L AC4= Approximate contact life in operations for AC4 utilization category (from AC4 life-load curves below)P AC4= Percentage of AC4 operationsUtilization CategoriesCategory Typical Duty.
