Types of capacitor duty contactor available

Discover their diverse range of Capacitor Duty Contactors:

  • Coil voltage options: Choose from various coil voltage options to match your specific electrical system requirements.
  • Poles and amp range: Explore different configurations with 3 poles or 4 poles and varying amp ranges to suit your application needs.
  • Difference between 3 pole and a 4 pole contactors

    The primary difference between 3-pole and 4-pole contactors lies in the number of poles, or sets of contacts, they possess. A 3-pole contactor has three sets of contacts that control three phases in an electrical system, commonly used in three-phase applications.

    On the other hand, a 4-pole contactor contains four sets of contacts, often utilized in situations where an additional pole is required, such as in systems with a neutral conductor. The choice between the two depends on the specific electrical configuration and requirements of the application, with 4-pole contactors accommodating scenarios where a neutral connection is necessary.
