Chapter 8, Problem 1SQ
To determine
Explain why contactors are described as control pilot devices and large magnetic switches.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
Contactors are electromagnetic switches that are very convenient for interrupting and connecting the branch circuits based on the range or size of contractors.
Contactors with a combination of pilot devices are used to control AC motors, switch lightning, and heavy loads.
Small range contactors with a combination of control devices are used for larger controls. Large contactors can control the heavy currents where overload protection is provided separately. Relays might be used to control the large contactors.
Conclusion:
Thus, the reason why contactors are described as control pilot devices and large magnetic switches is explained.
