DR2260D35VR

Contactors ( Solid State ) are a type of electro-mechanical device widely used in the industrial and construction fields. The DR2260D35VR is a Product of Schneider Electric, one of the most well known and trusted suppliers of contactors. It is a 2-pole, 24V DC, 60A rated contactor designed to provide reliable switching with low power consumption.

Contactor components are typically composed of a contactor body, a pair of main power contacts, auxiliary contacts, an electromagnetic coil, and a contactor latch. The contactor body provides the structure needed to mount the contactor and its coil. The main power contacts carry the load current into and out of the contactor. Auxiliary contacts provide additional contact points that can be used to provide control of the contactor and its load. The electromagnetic coil creates a controlled magnetic field to attract and hold the contactor’s armature. The contactor latch holds the armature in position until the coil is de-energized.

The DR2260D35VR contactor operates according to the principle of electromagnetism. When an electric current passes through the coil, a magnet is created which attracts and moves the armature, closing the main power contacts. When the power to the coil is interrupted, the armature moves back to its original position, opening the main power contacts. This process can be automatically activated and controlled by the use of auxiliary contacts.

DR2260D35VR contactors typically provide power switching for the in motor control and other automation circuits. In motor control applications, they can be used to both start and stop electric motors based on signals from a controller. This allows for the motor to be controlled remotely. In other automation circuits they may be used to control the switching of any number of loads.

The DR2260D35VR is also suitable for use in harsh environments such as in explosive areas or extreme temperatures. It comes with a built-in thermistor and current temperature sensor which allows the motor to be monitored for over-temperature and current flow. It is also protected from over-current and short circuits by a built-in circuit breaker.

The DR2260D35VR is designed to provide reliable switching performance. It features a robust construction with a corrosion-resistant paint-coated body and anodized contact tips. It also features a large, easy-to-operate control knob and pushbutton with a clear indication of open/closed status. The contactor is fully UL and CSA approved for safety and provides additional protection from power drops, short circuits, and overvoltage conditions.

In conclusion, the DR2260D35VR is a reliable, high-performance contactor from Schneider Electric that can be used in a wide variety of industrial and construction applications. Its robust construction and built-in protective features make it suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions, while its simple onboard controls offer easy operation. The DR2260D35VR is the perfect choice for those looking for a reliable power switch in a wide range of applications.
