Contactors (Electromechanical) devices are a type of device used in many electrical applications. The CDC18-12 contactor is no different, and is used for a wide range of industrial and domestic applications. This article will provide an overview of the working principles of the CDC18-12, as well as its practical applications.

CDC18-12 Working Principle

The working principle of the CDC18-12 is fairly simple. When activated by an electrical current, the contactor’s internal electromagnet is energized, and draws a small lever arm towards it. This ‘shifts’ the contactor’s moving contact into contact with the fixed contact, which closes the electrical circuit and allows the flow of current.

Once the current has been triggered, the contactor remains closed until the current is no longer applied. When this happens, the electromagnet is de-energized and the lever arm is released, springing back into its original position and breaking the circuit.

CDC18-12 Applications

The CDC18-12 has a wide range of applications, due to its reliability and ability to switch quickly and safely at high current ratings. The most common uses are for motor-control and lighting applications, and it is an ideal choice for domestic and industrial machinery ranging from security systems, pumps, air conditioning units, and microwaves.

In industrial applications, the contactor is used to control the operation of large motors, fan heaters and lighting circuits. Industrial contactors are larger than domestic units, and are designed to be energy efficient. For both types of applications, the contactor is used to maintain power to the system, whilst allowing the user to control the current flow with an external switch or circuit.

The CDC18-12 is also suitable for use in hazardous environments, as it contains no moving components and is designed to be explosion proof. This makes it ideal for use in petrochemical processing, where any spark or high current could potentially ignite vapours.

Conclusion

The CDC18-12 contactor is a reliable and dependable piece of electromechanical equipment, versatile enough to be used in a variety of domestic and industrial applications. Its simple yet robust design, and ability to be used in hazardous environments, makes it an ideal choice for many different applications, from motor control to lighting circuits, and from petrochemical processing to domestic appliances.
