 Contactor
• It consists of the following parts:
1. Coil coupled around the stationary part, when current is flowing, a
magnetic field will be created and the movable part will be attracted.
When the current is stopped, the spring will return the movable part to its
original position.
2. Main contacts: when current goes throw the coil, the main contacts will be
closed.
3. Auxiliary contacts: It may be NO or NC.
