CKJ5 series vacuum AC contactors (hereinafter referred to as contactors) are mainly used in circuits with AC 50Hz,rated working voltage up to 1140V, and rated working current up to 630A. They are used for long distance connection and disconnection of circuits, and can be combined with appropriate thermal overload relays or electronic protectors to form vacuum electromagnetic starters. They are particularly suitable for forming isolated vacuum electromagnetic starters.
CNC Electric supplies a comprehensive range of AC contactors for motor starting, remote circuit switching, industrial automation, HVAC equipment, power distribution, and other electrical control applications. The available range includes compact motor contactors, 3-pole and 4-pole contactors, air-conditioning contactors, mechanically interlocked contactors, high-current contactors, capacitor switching contactors, DC-operated contactors, and vacuum contactors.
Depending on the series and utilization category, CNC contactors cover operating currents from compact control applications up to 1250 A, with models available for circuits up to 1140 V. Selected contactors can be combined with thermal overload relays and auxiliary devices to build magnetic starters, reversing starters, star-delta starters, and other motor control solutions.

| Selection Factor | What to Confirm | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Load Type | Motor, heater, lighting, capacitor bank or general power circuit | Different loads produce different switching and inrush current conditions. |
| Utilization Category | AC-1, AC-3, AC-4 or another applicable category | The same contactor may have different current ratings under different categories. |
| Operating Voltage and Current | Rated operational voltage, motor power and full-load current | The contactor must carry and switch the actual load under defined conditions. |
| Coil Voltage | AC or DC coil and exact control voltage | An incorrect coil specification may cause failure to close, overheating or coil damage. |
| Number of Poles | 3-pole, 4-pole or another required configuration | A standard three-phase motor normally uses 3 poles, while some circuits require an additional switched pole. |
| Auxiliary Contacts | Required normally open and normally closed contacts | Auxiliary contacts support self-holding, interlocking, indication and PLC feedback. |
| Switching Duty | Starts per hour, reversing, jogging and expected operating cycles | Frequent or severe switching can significantly reduce electrical life. |
| Installation Conditions | Temperature, altitude, ventilation, mounting method and enclosure conditions | Environmental conditions may require derating or a different contactor size. |
| Category | Typical Load | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| AC-1 | Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads | Resistive heating and general distribution loads |
| AC-3 | Squirrel-cage motors | Standard starting and stopping of pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors |
| AC-4 | Squirrel-cage motors under severe switching duty | Jogging, inching, plugging and frequent reversing |
For most standard motor applications, the contactor should be selected according to its AC-3 rating at the actual motor voltage. The AC-1 current rating should not be used directly for an AC-3 motor load. Applications involving frequent reversing or jogging require the contactor’s AC-4 rating to be checked.
A contactor is a switching and control device; it does not independently provide complete short-circuit or overload protection. A typical motor control circuit may include:
The contactor, overload relay and upstream protective device should be selected using compatible ratings and coordination data. This helps improve operational reliability and limit equipment damage during a fault.
Solutions for standard motor control, HVAC systems, large industrial loads, capacitor switching and vacuum applications.
Multiple current ratings, coil voltages, pole arrangements and auxiliary contact options are available across the range.
Selected contactors can be combined with compatible thermal overload relays and accessories for complete motor starter solutions.

Contact Us for Detailed SpecificationsAn AC contactor is used to remotely connect and disconnect electrical loads. It is commonly applied to motors, pumps, compressors, fans, HVAC equipment, heaters, lighting circuits and industrial machinery.
Check the motor’s rated voltage, power, full-load current, starting method and operating duty. The contactor should meet both the AC-3 current rating and motor power rating at the actual supply voltage.
AC-1 is mainly used for non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, while AC-3 is used for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors. An AC-1 current rating should not be used directly to select a motor contactor.
A 3-pole contactor is normally used to switch three-phase motors. A 4-pole contactor switches an additional conductor and may be required for heating, lighting, power distribution or circuits in which the neutral must also be switched.
No. A contactor mainly performs switching and remote control. A circuit breaker or fuse is required for short-circuit protection, while a compatible overload relay or motor protection device is normally used for overload protection.
A dedicated capacitor switching contactor is recommended. It is designed to manage the high inrush current produced when capacitor banks are energized and is better suited to power factor correction systems.
