How It Works
The WCED 2 Pole 20A Modular Contactor uses an electromagnetic coil for efficient circuit management:
- 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 to allow current flow.
- Deactivation: When the coil is de-energised, the contacts return to their open state, halting the current flow.
Applications
- Residential: Ideal for lighting systems, heating circuits, and small automation setups.
- Commercial: Suitable for office lighting, HVAC systems, and small electrical loads.
- Light Industrial: Effective for controlling motors, pumps, and other low to medium-capacity equipment.
