How It Works
The WCED WAC4P40NC Modular Contactor employs an electromagnetic coil to control electrical circuits:
- Default State: In the normally closed (NC) configuration, the contacts remain closed, allowing current to flow.
- Activation: When the coil is energized, the electromagnetic force moves the armature, opening the circuit and interrupting the current flow.
- Fail-Safe Design: When the coil is de-energized, the contacts automatically return to their closed state, ensuring reliable operation even during power outages.
Applications
- Residential: Control lighting, heating systems, and household appliances efficiently and quietly.
- Commercial: Manage office lighting, HVAC systems, and other essential equipment.
- Industrial: Switch and control motors, pumps, and other machinery in demanding environments.
