Contactor Drop off Problem in Long Distance control Cable. cable capacitance

[raj151857]

I had experienced several times the problem of Contactor not getting dropoff for long distance cable due to cable capacitance. "e.g LCS is placed 1 KM away from MCC Motor feeder & Operator want to stop the Motor by pressing STOP Push Button & Motor is not getting STOP".

I had done many experiment like shorting the spare core & earth it with Armour. (Not Adequate)

Using 2 NC Stop Push button at LCS & when Stop is pressed entire core to contactor is earth (Work below 500Mtrs).

Third Method I had used is Connecting a capacitor between A1(Phase to Contactor Coil) & earth. Capacitor value depends on Length of cable ,no of core etc works fine for any length of cable.

Am looking for more solutions on same.

Very interesting subject But can you show the circuit.
I believe nothing to do with control cable capacitance. It is rather small.
