How It Works
The WCED 2 Pole 100A Modular Contactor operates using an electromagnetic coil to control electrical circuits:
- Default State: In its normally open (NO) configuration, the contacts remain open, preventing current flow.
- Activation: When the control voltage energises the coil, the electromagnetic force pulls the armature, closing the contacts and allowing current flow.
- Deactivation: When the coil is de-energised, the contacts return to their open state, halting the current flow.
Applications
- Residential: Ideal for high-capacity lighting systems and heating circuits.
- Commercial: Suitable for HVAC systems, retail lighting, and electrical equipment control.
- Industrial: Effective for managing motors, pumps, and medium to heavy-duty machinery.
