  2. Contactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactor

    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.

  3. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    An electrical contact is an electrical circuit component found in electrical switches, relays, connectors and circuit breakers. [1] Each contact is a piece of electrically conductive material, typically metal .

  4. Relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

    A solid-state contactor is a heavy-duty solid state relay, including the necessary heat sink, used where frequent on-off cycles are required, such as with electric heaters, small electric motors, and lighting loads. There are no moving parts to wear out and there is no contact bounce due to vibration.

  5. Contact protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_protection

    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.

  6. Motor control center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control_center

    Motor control centers are usually used for low voltage three-phase alternating current motors from 208 V to 600 V. Medium-voltage motor control centers are made for large motors running at 2300 V to around 15000 V, using vacuum contactors for switching and with separate compartments for power switching and control.

  7. Distribution board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_board

    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.

  8. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay

    Solid state relay with green LED Solid state contactor PCB mount solid-state DIL relay. A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when an external voltage (AC or DC) is applied across its control terminals.

  9. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

    The slope of the linear function is related to the channel transconductance and can be used for estimation of the ”contact resistance-free” carrier mobility. The approximations used here (linear potential drop across the channel region, constant contact resistance, ...) lead sometimes to the channel dependent contact resistance.
