Contactors vs. motor starters

wrote: What is exactly the difference between contactors and motor starters. A contactor is a component (a relay). You could use them for all sorts of things, not just involving motors. A motor starter is some set of components in a box, sold for a specific purpose. Motor starters may also include overload protection, braking and time-delays for starting 3 phase motors. However the use of the terminology is vague at best, so check for each specific thing you're buying. |
