    How to size a contactor for a resistive load??

    Hello all - I've got a 40 kW resistive load (heating elements) powered by 480V, 3ph. So FLA = 40kW / (480*sqrt(3)) = 48amps. I require a contactor for this heating load (ie size 1, 2, 3 etc). Can someone provide a table or chart that shows contactor sizing based on the resistive load?? I...
