2. Shading coil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading_coil

   This induced current creates an auxiliary magnetic flux which is 90 degrees out of phase from the magnetic flux created by the primary coil. [1] Frager spire or shading coil's purpose is to provide sizeable phase-shifted magnetic field (in blue) to keep the contactor on when the main coil flux (in red) passes through zero, avoiding unwanted ...

3. Contactor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactor

   A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit. [1] A contactor is typically controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit, such as a 24-volt coil electromagnet controlling a 230-volt motor switch. Unlike general-purpose relays, contactors are designed to be ...

4. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

   Armature (electrical) A DC armature of a miniature motor (or generator) A partially-constructed DC armature, showing the (incomplete) windings. In electrical engineering, the armature is the winding (or set of windings) of an electric machine which carries alternating current. [1] The armature windings conduct AC even on DC machines, due to the ...

5. NEMA contact ratings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_contact_ratings

   NEMA contact ratings are how much current at a rated voltage a relay or other pilot device can switch. The current rating of smaller NEMA contactors or their auxiliaries are defined by NEMA ICS 5: Industrial Control and Systems, Control Circuit and Pilot Devices[1] standard. The nomenclature is a letter followed by a three-digit number, the ...

6. Utilization categories - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilization_categories

   The "Utilization category" are mainly categorized in IEC 60947 in the following volume: Volume 1: General requirements. Volume 2: Circuit-breakers. Volume 3: Circuit-breakers, circuit-breakers, switch-disconnectors and switch-fuse units. Volume 4-1: Contactors and motor starters; electromechanical contactors and motor starters [1]

7. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   A split-phase or single-phase three-wire system is a type of single-phase electric power distribution. It is the alternating current (AC) equivalent of the original Edison Machine Works three-wire direct-current system. Its primary advantage is that, for a given capacity of a distribution system, it saves conductor material over a single-ended ...
