How It Works
The WCED WAC2P20/24 Modular Contactor operates via an electromagnetic coil:
- Default State: In its normally open (NO) configuration, the contacts remain open, preventing current flow.
- Activation: When the 24V AC coil is energized, the electromagnetic force pulls the armature, closing the contacts and allowing current to flow through the circuit.
- Deactivation: When the coil is de-energized, the spring mechanism resets the armature to its default open state, interrupting the current flow.
Applications
- Residential: Efficiently control lighting, small appliances, or EV chargers.
- Commercial: Manage HVAC systems, retail lighting, or office electrical setups.
- Industrial: Control machinery, pumps, or automation systems requiring precise switching.
