High-voltage dc contactor relays are electromechanically operated switches designed for direct connection to high-load devices such as electric motors. Unlike standard dc relays, these heavy-duty contactors often have features like magnetic blowouts and sealed gas chambers to suppress electrical arc, and they are sometimes designed with features like coil economizers
In a typical high-voltage dc contactor, when a control voltage is applied to the coil contacts, it generates a magnetic field that attracts a movable iron core toward a fixed core. Movable contacts attached to the moveable core are pulled toward fixed contacts. When the contacts meet, it completes the circuit and allows power to flow to the load. When the control
