Frequently Asked Questions
How to install these contactors?
- Select the contactor with the appropriate voltage and current rating for your specific application.
- Install the contactor in a suitable location, following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure it is secured properly and level.
- Connect the power supply and load wires to the contactor. Follow the wiring diagram provided by the manufacturer, ensuring the wires are connected to the correct terminals.
- Connect the control circuit wires to the appropriate terminals on the contactor. This will be based on the specific control circuit used in your application.
- Turn on the power and test the contactor to ensure it is functioning correctly. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage and current to verify they are within the contactor's rated values.
How to maintain these contactors?
- Inspect the contactor regularly to ensure it is in good condition. Check for any signs of damage, such as overheating, corrosion or wear.
- Clean the contactor and the surrounding area to remove dust and debris, which can cause overheating and interfere its operation.
- Store these contactors in a clean, dry and cool place when not in use to prevent corrosion and damage.
- Regularly inspect the control circuits that activate the contactor.
How do I test an Eaton definite-purpose contactor?
- Turn off power to the circuit where the contactor is installed.
- Inspect the contactor for any signs of damage or wear, such as burned or pitted contacts or a damaged coil.
- Verify that the control circuit is functioning correctly and that the contactor is receiving the correct signals.
- Use a multimeter to measure the voltage and current flowing through the contactor.
- Verify that the readings match the contactor's rated values.
- Energise the control circuit and observe the contactor's operation.
- Verify that the contacts close and open properly and that the contactor is switching the load on and off as expected.
- If the contactor has built-in overload protection, test it by applying a load that exceeds the rated current and verifying that the overload protection trips and disconnects the load.
