What is a Contactor?

A contactor is an electrically-controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit. Unlike a relay, which is typically used in low power applications, a contactor is designed to control high power loads such as motors, lighting, heating, and other electrical equipment.

Types of Contactors

There are several types of contactors, including:

  • Magnetic Contactors: Use an electromagnetic coil to close the contacts.
  • Mechanical Contactors: Operated manually or with mechanical means.
  • Solid-State Contactors: Use semiconductor devices to switch the power circuit without moving parts.
