A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching a power circuit, commonly found in industrial and commercial electrical systems. It is designed to control large electrical loads such as motors, lighting, heating, or capacitor banks by opening or closing contacts through an electromagnetic coil. Unlike regular switches, contactors are capable of handling high currents and are often operated remotely or through control circuits. They are available in various sizes and specifications, including auxiliary contacts for feedback or interlocking. Contactors are known for their durability, fast response time, and safe operation. Whether in motor starters, HVAC systems, or automation panels, contactors play a vital role in safely managing and controlling electrical power distribution.
