What is a Kilovac?
The Kilovac brand of products are regarded as the leading brand of products in the development of vacuum and pressurized high voltage relays and contactors. Low and stable contact resistance over relay life. Ability to interrupt DC loads.
What is a Gigavac contactor?
GIGAVAC™s various patented sealing technologies provide the ultimate in power switching contactors and relays. From high power DC contactors that can withstand environmental extremes to cost effective PCB mount contactors for high volume applications GIGAVAC has the right sealed contactor for your application.
What are DC contactors?
DC contactors are electrical switching devices, similar to a relay. The contactor functions by applying a voltage to the coil, this creates a magnetic field which moves the contacts to the closed position and completes the circuit.
What is a high voltage contactor?
A high-voltage contactor, also called a high-voltage relay without distinction in the industry, is widely used in electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). It is an electromechanical switching device with a coil to generate a magnetic force that mechanically operates an electric contact.
Where are contactors used?
A contactor is a special type of relay used for switching an electrical circuit on or off. They are most commonly used with electric motors and lighting applications.
What are the two basic types of contactors?
There are different types of contacts in a contactor, and they are; auxiliary contact, power contact, and contact spring. The power contact has two types that are; stationary and movable contact.
What is the purpose of high voltage contactor?
How does a high voltage contactor work?
Operating Principle of a Contactor:The current passing through the contactor excites the electromagnet. The excited electromagnet produces a magnetic field, causing the contactor core to move the armature. A normally closed (NC) contact completes the circuit between the fixed contacts and the moving contacts.
What is difference between contactor and relay?
Control Relay: It is a device through which contacts in one circuit are operated by an alteration in conditions in the same circuit or in associated circuits. Contactor: It is a device which is used for repeatedly establishing and interrupting an electric circuit under normal conditions.
What are the four types of relay?
Types of Relays
- Electromagnetic Relays.
- Latching Relays.
- Electronic Relays.
- Non-Latching Relays.
- Reed Relays.
- High-Voltage Relays.
- Small Signal Relays.
- Time Delay Relays.
Why DC is used in relay?
The circuit breakers which are used to switch large quantities of electric power on and off are actually electromechanical relays, themselves. DC power is used because it allows for a battery bank to supply close/trip power to the breaker control circuits in the event of a complete (AC) power failure.
What are the uses of Kilovac relays and contactors?
