Generally relays or contactors If you are talking about an electric panel in your house, they are called breakers.


What is the difference between contactor transformer?

Relays and Contactors are electromagnetic switches. The onlydifference is that relays are usually used for low voltageapplications while contactors are used for higher voltageapplication. Contactors usually have Overload protection.Some examples that I can give (at least in Manufacturing ofIndustrial Control panels):-Relays are use as electromagnetic switches to controlcertain parts of a circuit (low voltage application). Abetter example would be such as if you want your circuit tosound a horn when a certain abnormality is happening at acertain period of time, then depending how you set up yourcircuit, a specific relay will either open or close and youhorn will start making the sound.-Contactors can be used for example, to start motors or anumber of motors that require a higher voltage in order forthe motor or motors start working. In the example that Ijust gave, contactors work as starters.

How do you change star to delta?

In motor starters, this is usually done using contactors. Explanation of this can easily be done using a circuit diagram. There are three contactors, the main, star and delta contactors-all these contactors can be the same type. There are many ways of wiring a star delta but here I will only give a generalized answer. First, the main contactor and star contactors are energised thus the motor runs in star. After about 5 seconds, the timer which gets energized at the same time as the main and star contactors, switches its CONTACTS i.e the normally open closes and the normally close opens. This dienergize the star contactor and energized the delta contactor. Thus, the motor now runs in delta.


How many contactors are used in a star-delta starter?

3 contactors are used: one for the main incoming service lines, one to make the star connection and one for the delta connection. Auxiliary to the contactors, a delay timer, adjustable from 500-1000 seconds, is used to shift from star to delta configuration.


What is the advantage of a sequencer over a contactor?

Using contactors (or relays) to control electric heat means that all of the heat will be started at one time unless separate time delay relays are used. Contactors are magnetic and make noise. They snap in and may hum. Contactors are normally used on commercial systems where they may not be directly attached to the ductwork. This prevents the noise from traveling through the system - Sequencer are cheaper and quiet compared to contactors.
