explain me about the contactor works with examples. if i want to control a motor with contactor. and how i can use contactor in loops with over load and circuit breakers.

What are the parts of magnetic contactor?

There are three main parts of a magnetic contactor. These include the power contacts, contact springs, and the auxiliary contacts.


What is a magnetic contactor protection device?

Contactors have both power and auxiliary contacts. We use the auxiliary contact to control magnetic system of contactor. When a heater , relay or a key warn the contactor it is energized and by the typical magnetic interaction it opens its closed power contacts.


What can you do to provide separate electricity to your shared well?

You can build a control panel that utilizes a reversing magnetic contactor set up. These types of magnetic contactor have a mechanical interlock along with a electrical interlock. Have your separate feed from each house terminate on the top of each magnetic contactor. House one to contactor one, house two to contactor two. Parallel the feeds from the bottom of both contactors to the pump load. Depending on which house calls for water first that contactor will pull in and lock the other one out. Once the pressure tank demand for that house drops out the other contactor will pull in and fill that pressure tank.

Why does an ac contactor need shading rings?

In a AC contactor, a shaded ring is essential to prevent it from buzzing twice a cycle. Ac contactor takes a input of alternating voltage resulting an alternating current and flux through its windings. So The contactor buzzes each time the magnitude of alternating magnetic field reaches zero. The shaded rings are provided at some part of the core. When the alternating flux cuts them the produce another alternating magnetic field which is out of phase from the main magnetic field. So the resultant magnetic field no more zero at the contacts and which prevents the contact from buzzing.


What is the function of an electrical coil in a basic circuit?

There are a couple of examples that come to mind where there is a coil in a circuit. One is, the coil is used as a choke to block harmonics from going down the electrical line. Another example of a coil in the line is the coil in a magnetic contactor. When this coil is energized the contacts of the magnetic contactor close.


Can 125v magnetic switch be used in 12v system?

If what you term as a "magnetic switch" is an electrical contactor, then the answer is yes.A couple things to keep in mind. I presume the 125 volts mentioned is the coil voltage of the contactor.The switched voltages and amperage or horsepower allowed by the contactor is on the contactor's nameplate. This is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the contactor which includes 12 volts.The amperage of the 12 volt device is not mentioned and this should not exceed the maximum allowed current of the lowest voltage rating of the contactor. This is especially true if the 12 volts is Direct Current. An example of this could be a starter on a car. When the starter starts to crank it could be in the neighbourhood of 300 amps DC. As you can see this would fry the contacts of a normal AC rated contactor.

How many wires to control a mechanically held contactor?

A contactor is a type of switch. However this switch uses electricity to power an electromagnetic coil to switch on or off power. Hence a contactor needs 2 wires - A live/hot wire and a neutral wire. Generally these are connected across the A1 and A2 terminals of the contactor.

Shading ring in magnet of electrical contactor?

Best guess? A shading ring aborbs energy from a changing magnetic field, so I'm guessing it will slow the opening and/or closing time. Try a web search: electrical contactor shading ring
