What happens here

Before energizing any contactor, it is crucial to determine its specific coil voltage. The presenter explains that contactor coils come in various voltage ratings, such as 480 volts, 120 volts, 208 volts, 24 volts, or 12 volts, depending on the application. He demonstrates how to locate the coil voltage label on the contactor itself, pointing out the 120V rating for the current demonstration unit.

Goal: Locate and understand the specified operating voltage for the contactor's coil.

determine what the coil voltage is. A contactor is such a prevailing part of what we work on every day. It is how we control motors, how we control machinery. Contacttors are very powerful in what we use. The first thing we want to do is determine what is the coil voltage. There are some contacttors that have a 480 volt coil voltage. Some are 120, some are 208, some are 24 volt, some are 12 volt. So we first thing we want to do is determine what is the coil voltage. So Chris tell me what the coil voltage is. >> 120 volts. >> 120 volts. So basically we need to put
