How do you calculate contactor capacity of star contactor?

What is the difference between an definite purpose contactor and a lighting sontactor?
A definite purpose contactor is designed (and rated) for a specific load. So a lighting contactor is one example of a definite purpose contactor. A motor starter contactor is another example. So, a lighting contactor is a definite purpose contactor, but a definite purpose contactor is not necessarily a lighting contactor (it might be a motor starter, for instance).
Can you use an AC contactor in the place of DC contactor?
No, you definitely cannot.
How is a Blowout coil connected?
A blowout coil connected in series with contactor's auxiliary contacts that shunt around the main contactor contacts. The coil is out of the circuit when the main contactor contacts are closed and in the circuit when the main contactor contacts are open.
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.
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.
What causes an electrical contactor to make a buzzing noise when activated and what should be done about it?
Contactor chatter can be caused by a broken shading ring winding on the pole face of the contactor. Low voltage to the coil can be another reason for contactor chatter. A constant hum on a contactor will be caused by misalignment to the two pole faces. Check for rust building up on the two surfaces.
How does magnetic contactor operate?
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.

You found a 220volt coil on a 3 phase motor contactor and the one side of the coil is feed from B phase and the other side is also feed from B phase it would not pull in the contactor?
your not completing the circuit your only using one phase for a three phase motor
Definition of coil in contactor?
The coil in a "Contactor" is essentially an electromagnetic coil that provides the driving force to close the contacts in a Contactor. When the "Coil" is energized by a lower control voltage usually from some type of controller such as a PLC, the Normally-Open contactor will close or in the oposite case, the Normally-Closed contactor will open.
How is a Blowout coil connected?
A blowout coil connected in series with contactor's auxiliary contacts that shunt around the main contactor contacts. The coil is out of the circuit when the main contactor contacts are closed and in the circuit when the main contactor contacts are open.

What is the main reason a Lovato contactor switch would burnt out?
To answer this question more information about the contactor is needed. It could be the contacts that failed, terminal connections that failed or contractor's coil that burned out. There is an explanation why each one of these things could happen if more precise data was stated.
If you have a bad compressor does that mean you need a new contactor?
Not always. But if a compressor goes bad it can take out the contactor. I have replaced compressors before and found the contactor is still ok. In a commercial application Copeland will not honor the warranty if the contactor is not replaced at the same time a new compressor is installed. Not sure about residential but for a $15 contactor I would not gamble with it.
