Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DC contactor?
DC contactors control the flow of DC power in a circuit. They consist of a coil that creates a magnetic field (when activated), pulling in a set of contacts, completing the circuit and allowing current to flow.
How do I select the right contactor for my application?
The selection of a contactor depends on voltage & current rating of the circuit, switching frequency, load type and environmental conditions.
How to maintain Eaton DC contactor contact kits?
Regular inspection and maintenance can help ensure the proper functioning of a DC contactor contact kit.
How do I test a DC contactor contact kit?
Testing a DC contactor contact kit involves checking for proper voltage & continuity, inspecting the contacts for wear or damage and verifying that the contacts are opening & closing properly.
