About a Typical Contactor Control
Unlike general-purpose relays, contactors are designed to be directly connected to high-current
load devices. Contactors are designed to control and suppress the arc produced when interrupting
heavy motor currents.The figures below shows a block diagram of a typical contactor circuit with
typical voltages.Thermal overload relays are commonly attached to the contactor. They offer pro
-
tection for motors in the event of overload or phase failure. A Reset button is included to clear an
error in the relay.
