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.
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.
Current Lighting Solutions, LLC (formerly Current, powered by GE and GE Current, a Daintree company), trading as Current, is a company that sells energy management systems. It is headquartered in Greenville, SC, U.S. The company appointed Steve Harris as its new Chief Executive Officer, succeeding interim CEO Bill Tolley on May 30, 2023.
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.
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.
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.
Electrical panels, cables and firestops in an electrical service room at a paper mill in Ontario, Canada. Electrical panels are easily accessible junction boxes used to reroute and switch electrical services. The term is often used to refer to circuit breaker panels or fuseboxes. Local codes can specify physical clearance around the panels ...
