On October 7, 2015, the Commercial division of GE Lighting was separated from the business and a new startup, Current, was created. [9] On July 1, 2020, GE Lighting was acquired by Savant Systems, a home automation company headquartered in Hyannis, Massachusetts, United States. [10] This was General Electric's last consumer business. [11]
AC contactor for pump application. A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit. [1] A contactor is typically controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit, such as a 24-volt coil electromagnet controlling a 230-volt motor switch.
Enclosure comparison with normal wiring & with busbar system. Electrical busbar systems [1] (sometimes simply referred to as busbar systems) are a modular approach to electrical wiring, where instead of a standard cable wiring to every single electrical device, the electrical devices are mounted onto an adapter which is directly fitted to a current carrying busbar.
Architectural style wiring diagram, with lamps and switches shown symbolically in their physical locations on the plan view of the building. Architectural wiring diagrams show the approximate locations and interconnections of receptacles, lighting, and permanent electrical services in a building.
Typical contact elements of an electromechanical relay or contactor. A “contact” is a pair of electrodes (typically, one moving; one stationary) designed to control electricity. Electromechanical switches, relays, and contactors “turn power on” when the moving electrode makes contact with the stationary electrode to carry current.
A contactor is a heavy-duty relay with higher current ratings, [21] used for switching electric motors and lighting loads. Continuous current ratings for common contactors range from 10 amps to several hundred amps. High-current contacts are made with alloys containing silver.
Usually utilization category is mentioned in most of the switch gear, with the above contactor stating to be used under AC1 - resistive load & AC3 for motor usage. In electrical engineering utilization categories are defined by IEC standards [1] and indicate the type of electrical load and duty cycle of the loads to ease selection of contactors ...
A distribution board (also known as panelboard, circuit breaker panel, breaker panel, electric panel, fuse box or DB box) is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.
