POWER AND MACHINE

MAGNETIC CONTACTOR

A magnetic contactor is a device powered by magnetism. It is used to open and close


the contact in a meter control circuit. It may also be called a magnetic switch or contactor.

A magnetic contactor is often used in industries, commercial large industries are very
much dependent on this device. Through it we can easily control heavy load such as high
capacity meter.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Basically., a magnetic contactor works on the same principle as a relay, connecting


and disconnecting electricity. The contactor are similar. This device uses coil, which when
electrified creates a magnetic field.

This magnetic field can control the contact that exists in magnetic contactor. When an
electric current flows to the magnetic field point, this will create a magnetic field whose
force overcomes the spring force to
