A contactor is a switch that is operated electrically and is used to switch an electrical power circuit. A contactor is usually controlled by a circuit with significantly less power than the switched circuit, such as a 24-volt coil electromagnet controlling a 230-volt motor switch.
An electrical device known as a contactor is used to manage an electrical circuit by establishing and severing electrical connections. In essence, it is a heavy-duty relay made to withstand greater current and voltages than standard relays. Numerous applications, including industrial machinery, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, elevators, lighting control, and more frequently employ contactors.
Contacts: Contactors have sets of contacts, which are frequently built of materials able to sustain large currents and withstand wear and tear. These contacts are in charge of moving the electrical current and establishing or severing the circuit connection.
Coil: An electromagnetic coil is used to regulate contactors. The coil produces a magnetic field that pulls the armature or plunger, a moveable component of the contactor, when a current flows through it. The contacts close or open as a result of this movement, completing or interrupting the electrical circuit.
Contactors are typically placed in protective enclosures that protect them from external elements including dust, moisture, and chemicals as well as from unintentional contact with live components.
Contactors come in a variety of configurations dependent on their poles and throws.
When reliable and robust regulation of electrical circuits is required, contactors are crucial parts in industrial and commercial settings. They offer a secure and effective method of controlling high-power loads, shielding employees and equipment from potential dangers.
The MO0, MN0, and MX0 range control contactors have a demonstrated track record of implementing complex control logics successfully and reliably. Our control contactors offer a great degree of versatility in terms of the assortment and quantity of auxiliary contacts. These look good with the panel's images. They are appropriate for both industrial and commercial setups that need complicated control.

What does the utilisation category AC1 and AC3 mean for the TeSys contactors?
Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions.
AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.
AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running. Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.
What accessories are available?
Auxiliary contact blocks with serrated wiping action.
Front mount dust tight auxiliary contact blocks.
