What is the difference between a contactor and a starter? A contactor is an electrical switch used for switching current on and off in a circuit without overload protection. A starter is usually an assembly, that includes a contactor plus an overlad relay, used to start an electic motor. Contactors are rated by their current in amps while starters are rated by their horsepower capacity and the current they use. Carlo Gavazzi is launching the REC Series 3-phase Solid State Contactors and Reversing Contactors! REC is an electronic contactor intended to replace the traditional mechanical counterpart used to switch three phase motors. The range includes 2 and 3 phase switching versions up to 4kW and 600Vrms. Options with high surge current and I²t for fusing purposes are also available. The relay switches instantaneously upon application of the control voltage to emulate mechanical relay operation. A covered heatsink resolves any issues with regards to cables running close to the heatsink and eliminates the need for protective earth cabling. The product can be mounted on DIN-rail or on a panel. Note: Specifications stated at 25°C unless specified. The Carlo Gavazzi REC Series is twenty times more durable than equivalent mechanical contactors and succeeds in handling high frequency switching. The Carlo Gavazzi REC Series is comprised of a 3-pole non-reversing version with three switched phases or a 3-pole non-reversing and reversing versions with two switched phases. The first solution eliminates direct connection from the power supply to motor, while the second one maintains the same performance level while providing relevant cost reduction. The REC is mechanically compatible with Carlo Gavazzi’s CGT-22 line of bimetallic overload modules, by means of a plastic adapter. Need a reversing contactor? Check out our REC2R series! |
