220V DC Contactor

A 220VDC contactor specifically handles DC circuits with a voltage value of 220 volts.

Application of a control signal to the DC contactor’s coil results in a magnetic field. This attracts the actuator mechanism, resulting in the opening or closing of the contacts and thus interruption of current flow.

Features

Some common features associated with a 220V DC contactor include:

• A specific current rating provides the maximum current transferrable for safe contactor operation.
• Different mounting options based on installation requirements such as panel mounting and DIN rail mounting.
• One of two contact configurations: normally open or normally closed
• The coil voltage required to activate the switching mechanism is 220 volts for this particular DC contactor.

Application

A 220V DC contactor finds use where there’s a need for the control and switching of DC circuits with high currents. These include:

• In DC motor control circuits for automation and starting, stopping, and reversing direction.
• Power distribution systems utilize 220V DC contactors to control the flow of DC power to different loads.
• Welding equipment employs 220V DC contactors to switch the high currents required for the welding process.
