What happens here

The master electrician then presents a physical example: a lighting contactor. He explains that this specific contactor can control up to 12 circuits simultaneously. He provides a hypothetical scenario where a customer wants to turn on an entire warehouse's lighting with a single switch, highlighting that a control contactor (like the lighting contactor shown) is the solution for such large-scale switching.

Goal: Show a real-world application of coils in a lighting contactor.

Tools and materials

  • Contactor — Visual examples of different contactors
  • Lighting Contactor N/A — Demonstrating a practical application of coils in controlling multiple circuits

What they say

Hide

and wrap it and wrap it and wrap it and that's a coil. But obviously there's some engineering to make sure they're sized properly. But that's really all it is. This is actually a lighting contactor. This will control 12 circuits at one time. If a customer said to you, "Hey, I want to be able to open up my front door and turn on one switch and I want the entire warehouse to turn on." What would you do? >> Uh circuitation. >> You would put in a control contacttor.
