Magnetic Contactors

About

What is a magnetic contactor? A magnetic contactor is an electrically-operated switch that uses a coil-driven electromagnet to make and break high-current motor and lighting circuits. Sized in AC-3 amps (motor switching) or AC-1 amps (resistive loads), Pakistani contactors complying with IEC 60947-4-1 range from 9 A to 800 A , with coils of 24 V, 110 V, 220 V or 380 V AC. Pair with a thermal overload relay to form a manual motor starter; pair with a phase-sequence relay to protect 3-phase motors from single-phasing. Coil voltage Common AC-3 amps Typical motor 220 V AC 9 / 12 / 18 A Single-phase pumps, fans 220 / 380 V AC 25 / 32 / 40 A 3-phase tube-well, compressor 220 / 380 V AC 50 / 65 / 80 / 95 A+ Industrial motors, panel automation CNC Electric Pakistan stocks the YCC series of IEC 60947-4-1 magnetic contactors with matched thermal overload relays.
