What is a definite purpose contactor?
So what exactly is a “definite purpose” contactor? Definite purpose contactors are designed to handle challenging electrical loads. With current ratings ranging anywhere between 20A to 350A, definite purpose contactors are used across commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors. Voltage ratings top out at 600V, so definite purpose contactors are mostly used in low voltage applications. However they can be configured for both single phase and 3 phase systems.
Definite purpose. Multiple purposes.
While they are called definite purpose contactors, their purposes span a wide variety of applications. While they are most commonly found in HVAC, air conditioning, heating systems and the like, they can be used in everything from elevators and lighting systems to food processing plants and heavy duty construction machinery. Definite purpose contactors are as versatile as they are convenient and no matter what your application, there are both 3 pole definite purpose contactors and 2 pole definite purpose contactors to meet your every need. 4-pole configurations are also available.
