Dear All,
Being a comptent selector and assembler of electronic circuits, I have recently had the need to buy a contactor for the following parameters:
UK 3 Phase motor (3 pole?, switching voltage at least 415vac?)
I assume that if the coil voltage is say 24ac, this is to control the switching from an external source?
However I wish the contactor to be activated by a switch located nearby, how would I wire the
coil to the switch and what voltage rating coil should I buy?
Is the current rating stated in catalogues the working current, or is it the current at which the cut-out is activated?
If not where is it normally stated the cut-out current?
I hope there is someone who can help me enter the realm of electrics.
Cheers,
