1-1618002-4

Contactors are electromechanical devices used in controlling and switching high power circuits. They are mainly used in applications requiring the switching of electric motors, lighting circuits and heating elements, and as an alternative to circuit breakers in applications with a high current requirement. The 1-1618002-4 contactor is a state-of-the-art device which is capable of switching high power circuits while providing reliable operation and protection.

The 1-1618002-4 contactor has a wide range of applications, from residential arc-fault protection to large industrial motor control. It is suitable for switching voltages of up to 600V, and can handle a maximum current rating of 240A. It also has built-in overload and short-circuit protection, making it a safe and reliable device for controlling heavy electrical loads. The contactor also features an adjustable tripping setting, allowing it to be set for different current levels.

The working principle of the 1-1618002-4 contactor is based on magnetic circuits. It is composed of an armature, pole pieces and a coil. When the contactor is energized, an electromagnet is created which attracts the armature and closes the contacts. This creates a closed circuit, allowing the current to flow. When the contactor is de-energized, the electromagnet is released, allowing the armature to move away from the pole pieces, thereby opening the contacts and breaking the circuit.

The 1-1618002-4 contactor is designed for long-term use and is robust enough to handle a wide range of applications. Its high contact load capacity, adjustable tripping setting and integrated overload protection make it a reliable and safe choice for controlling high power circuits. Coupled with its simple operation and maintenance-free design, the 1-1618002-4 contactor is a great choice for any electrical control and switching application.
