INSTALLATION 

 

 

 

AMBIENT CONDITIONS 

 

Do not install this 

equipment in areas where 

unusual service conditions 

exist. Using this equipment 

in other than usual service 

conditions can result in 

equipment failure.

 

 

Toshiba HCV-1JBU  and HCV-1KAU  contactors 

are intended for use in usual service conditions 

as defined in NEMA ICS 1. The temperature of 

the cooling air (ambient air temperature) 

surrounding the contactor should be between the 

limits of -5

°

C (23

°

F) and +40

°

C (104

°

F). The 

altitude of the equipment installation should not 

exceed 3300-ft (1000 m). 

 

In particular, avoid the following installation 

conditions: 

 

-

  Excessive dust 

-

  Corrosive gases 

-

  Extreme variations in temperature 

-

  Very high or low humidity 

-

  Vibrations 

-

  Inclined locations 

 

If there is a chance that condensation can occur 

at the installation location, a space heater should 

be installed inside the contactor enclosure. 

 

NOTE:

   Temperature, altitude or other 

conditions outside of the usual limits 

may require derating or other special 

equipment. Contact your nearest 

Toshiba representative for additional 

information. 

 

 

 

 

MOUNTING THE CONTACTOR 

 

The contactor is designed to mount to a flat, 

vertical surface.  If there are any noticeable gaps 

between the contactor and the mounting surface, 

fill them in using flat washers as spacers. 

 

Fasten the contactor using four (4) M8 hex 

head bolts.  The tightening torque should be 

120-150 kgf-cm (9-11 ft-lb).  See Table  1  for 

tightening torque specifications. 

 

 

MAIN CIRCUIT CABLE CONNECTIONS 

 

Route cables that connect to the contactor to 

avoid interference with sharp edges and moving 

parts.  Observe minimum bending radius for the 

type of cable used. 

 

Power cables should be braced and/or laced to 

withstand short-circuit forces wherever such 

cables are unsupported.  Power cables should 

be adequately sized to carry the maximum 

continuous current in accordance with NEC 

requirements and should have an adequate 

voltage rating.  Cables should be dressed and 

terminated as appropriate to the voltage class 

and cable manufacturer’s recommendations.  

 

Fasten the cables to the main circuit terminals.  

Use 35 mm Class 8.8 M10 or M12 hex head 

bolts, 2 flat washers, a lock washer and a nut.  

While securely preventing the nut from rotating 

with a wrench, torque the bolt to 250-315 kgf-

cm (18-23 ft-lb) for M10 bolts or 450-565 kgf-cm 

(32-41 ft-lb) for M12 bolts.
