DC Contactor Relay

A contactor is an automatic switcher that is used to connect or disconnect the AC and DC main circuits or large-capacity control circuits with loads. The contactor is to control the motor and it is also used for other electrical loads, such as electric heaters, electric welding machines, lighting equipment. Contactors are very important device in industrial field, especially the high voltage DC contactors. They can not only connect and cut off the circuit, but also have a low voltage release protection.

The contactor has a large control capacity, is well suitable for frequent operation and long-distance control and is one of the important components in the automatic control system.

The DC contactor relay is generally used to control the DC electrical equipment. The coil is supplied with DC current. The working principle and structure of the DC contactor are basically the same as that of the AC contactor.

What is the working principle of a DC contactor? When the contactor coil is energized, a magnetic field will be generated by the coil current, which makes the static iron core generate electromagnetic attraction to attract the moving iron core and makes the contact act.

The normally closed contact is disconnected, the normally open contact is closed and both are linked. When the coil is powered off, the electromagnetic attraction disappears and the armature is released under the action of the release spring, so that the contacts are restored: the normally open contacts are disconnected and the normally closed contacts are closed.

Peaco Support DC contactors have a wide selection of current and coil voltages to choose, including 12V DC contactor, 24V DC contactor and 48V DC contactor.

Advantages of Brushless DC Motors

Brushless DC motor is one of synchronous motors, whose rotor speed is affected by the speed of the rotating magnetic field of its stator and the number of poles of the rotor. Brushless DC motors not only have a series of advantages of AC motors, such as simple structure, reliable operation and convenient maintenance but also have features such as high operating efficiency and good speed regulation performance of DC motors. The most important part of a brushless DC motor is its control structure, whose driver can control the rotor to maintain a certain speed, and its performance is more stable. Brushless DC motor is a low-power motor that uses electronic commutation and is widely used in modern production equipment, instrumentation and household appliances. Peaco Support brushless DC motors have many advantages. 1. High efficiency The efficiency of a traditional DC motor is generally about 75%, while the efficiency of a general brushless DC motor can reach more than 96%. With high effi...

What Causes an Vibration Motor to Overheat?

Generally speaking, a vibration motor has a certain operating power, which is called the rated power, the unit is watts (W). If the actual motor power exceeds the rated power of the vibration motor in some cases, this phenomenon is called motor overload. The following is the reasons for the vibration motor overload. 1. Overload. 2. The voltage of the vibration motor is too high or too low. 3. The vibration motor is severely damp or corroded by corrosive gas for a long time, which reduces the insulation resistance. 4. The bearing of the vibration motor lacks of oil or is under dry grinding situation. Additionally, the rotor is mechanically misaligned, causing the motor current to exceed the rated value. 5. Failure of the mechanical transmission parts happens. 6. Analysis of other causes of vibration motor overload. The terminal voltage is too low. This voltage refers to the voltage measured at the lead end of the motor stator when the vibrating motor is starting or running at full load,...
