How to choose the contactors
for elevator machinery?
> New EN 81-20 standard

schneider-electric.com
 Components for elevator
machinery:
Schneider Electric offers a simpler choice
in conformance with the new EN 81-20 standard

New
EN 8st1a-nd2a0
rd

The new EN 81-20 standard is

an update of EN 81-1 and EN 81-2.
It takes into account changes with
regard to safety in the past 15 years.

Application:
In force since 1st July 2014, it includes a three-year
transition period. Elevators built according to the
old standards can be sold until 1st June 2016.

Main aspects concerned:

Ventilation, elevator car roof, safety line, operating
tests, emergency lighting, suspension, etc.

Electrical aspects (see page 22):

>> Circuit breaker/contactor coordination
>> Utilization categories of contactors
>> Auxiliary contacts of contactors and relays.

Allowance for the EN 81-20 standard

can entail a reappraisal of the customary
technical options. Aware of this fact,
Schneider Electric offers designers
selection tables, calculated
in accordance with the new standard
and recommendations:
>> Protection/control of motors and safety brake
>> Components for the functions of the elevator
shaft and car.

Depending on the need, the Kfr brake contactor can be wired either:

>> To the DC output of the rectifier. >> To the AC input of the rectifier.

The safety brake

As long as the lifting motor is not powered, its shaft is held locked by the safety brake.
This system can keep the car motionless when it is idle and stop it in cases of
emergency or a power failure. It should be distinguished from the parachute brake
which stops the car in the event of a fall.
Opening of the emergency brake is achieved by a manual device allowing maneuvers
to release people if necessary. In normal operation, opening is obtained by powering
its control electromagnet with direct current.

2 types of brakes are used

>>Brake without overexcitation: generally used with installations with an
asynchronous motor, because the inertia of the motor and its gearbox intrinsically
reduces the car's movements.
>>Brake with overexcitation: associated with a synchronous motor (without gearbox)
which does not restrain the car when it is no longer energized. It is a high-power
brake, since overexcitation allows greater speed of brake shoe opening.

Safety brake control

> Part 1 - Automatic control

The brake is controlled by a dedicated automatic control system acting on contactor Kfr.
Control takes place in normal operating conditions (motor start/stop) and during service or emergency maneuvers.

Control contacts on DC circuit

The TeSys K product range is recommended for Kfr
>>Since the current never goes through zero, DC current breaking is difficult for the contactor,
which must itself overcome the voltage across the terminals of its contacts.
• The larger the voltage, the more difficult is circuit breaking.
• Conversely, for a given brake power, the smaller the voltage the higher the current to be broken,
which damages the contactor's pads and reduces contactor lifetime.

In order to design a reliable, robust brake control, we advise you to take Rectifier

the following steps: + -

1 • Provide for a varistor or Transil to be used with the electromagnet coil in order to limit overvoltages.
2 • Place contacts in series to reduce the voltage across the terminals of each pole. -Kfr
Use table 2, p. 14, to determine the minimum number of contacts in series to be used for
the voltage/power pair of the brake coil to be powered.
3 • In the case of high currents and available contacts, reduce the current per contact by combining
poles in parallel with each pole in series (cf. figure opposite). -KM1 -KM2
This can extend the contacts' lifetime.

Brake

Control contacts on AC circuit

The TeSys K and D product ranges are recommended for Kfr -Kfr
>> In table 3, p. 14, select contactor K or D depending on the endurance wanted.
The endurance of a contactor in AC depends on the current* broken by its contacts,
Rectifier
irrespective of the voltage.

>> It is possible to increase the contactor's endurance by dividing the current in the available
contacts placed in parallel. -KM1 -KM2

* In case of brake with overexcitation, contactors shall be sized regarding hold current.

Safety brake control

> ParT 2 - Safety: combined with motor control

In order to ensure release of the brake at motor start-up, it is common to use a contact of each motor contactor
in the coil power supply chain.
The contact used is:
>> Either a power contact 1
>> Or an auxiliary contact

The choice of one or the other should be made taking into account the current in the brake coil – see examples below.

as standard. This bidirectional peak limiting diode is removable and can therefore be replaced by the user. (See reference above). If a DC or low-consumption

Recommendations

To maintain satisfactory operation of the contacts

>> Check the appropriateness of the contacts:
The contacts and the closing pressure are sized according to the contactor
rating. It is the arc produced at circuit breaking which "cleans" the contacts. 1
Our selection tables are established to prevent contactor oversizing
relative to the need and thus allow cleaning.

>> Pay attention to the contacts connected to a PLC input:

The current supplied by the input (I switched) may be very low, a few
milliamperes, at a very low voltage ≤ 24 V.
The match between the switching characteristics of the auxiliary
contacts and the PLC current should be checked carefully.
The series connection of several contacts and large line lengths adversely
affect this match.
Sealed contacts should be preferred if a cabled combination of
contacts is required; otherwise, use intermediate relays of the
TeSys CAK or CAD type.

>> Make sure to keep the contactors away from dust, moisture
and chemical substances.
Contamination can be a cause of thermal overheating and an adversely
affected lifetime. Combined with low currents, it can be a cause of non-
conducting poles.

To prevent contamination of the contacts

>> Before assembly, make sure to store the contactors and relays in a clean place.
>> Preferably choose assembly in an enclosure with a high degree of protection
(IP55), equipped with a filter (to be replaced each year).
>> Keep the contactors and relays away from the fan's air flow.
>> Make sure that the enclosure is kept closed outside of technical inspections.

To maintain satisfactory operation of the coil

>> Make sure to maintain coil voltage within the specified tolerances
in order to maintain the contact closing speed.
Example: TeSys LC1D09P7 coil
Control limit voltages: 0.8 … 1.1 Uc for 50 Hz and 60°C.
In practice:
Limit the length of the line to limit the voltage drop.
Make sure to maintain an acceptable ambient temperature:
A temperature not exceeding the maximum recommended value will keep
the coil resistance at a value capable of ensuring satisfactory switching.
Example: Max. ambient temperature 60°C for TeSys LC1D.

Recommendations

Choose discreet contactors

The coils of DC control contactors generate no hum.
These contactors should be preferred when the machinery
enclosure is mounted on a partition wall common with
an apartment.

Identify the relays belonging to safety chains

You have designed a safety chain incorporating standard TeSys D contactors
which all comply with the EN 60947-5-1:2004 and EN 50 205 standards,
and it is easy to identify them:

>> LAD9ET1S, LADET3S or LADET4S red covers on contactors and relays

>> LADN22S red auxiliary contact blocks

Surge protection devices
Properly selected and installed, a surge arrester provides real
protection for electronic equipment against overvoltages
conveyed by the utility or the earth conductor.
Lightning rod

A lightning protection system protects buildings from direct strikes

(as per IEC 62305). The lightning current is directed towards the ground
but at the same time generates overvoltage in the electrical installation.
Elevator control cabinet Overvoltages can also be generated through the incoming power and
telephone lines.
The basic precautions to prevent the disturbing energy from reaching
the elevator equipment are:
>> Equipotential bonding of the installation;
>> Installing Surge Protection Devices
Incoming DB (as per IEC 60364-4-44 & IEC 60364-5-534).

Since in most countries elevator systems are subject

to occupational health and safety regulations,
