Working Principle
When the coil is energized, it creates a magnetic field that pulls the movable contacts against the stationary contacts, completing the power circuit. De-energizing the coil opens the circuit via spring force.
Installation Requirements
- Mount in an upright position unless otherwise specified.
- Ensure adequate spacing for arc extinction.
Usage Precautions
- Never exceed the rated contact current or voltage.
- Inspect contacts periodically for pitting or welding.
