Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video introduces electrical contactors, explaining their fundamental components. A contactor is presented as having two main parts: the electrical contacts, which physically open and close, and an electromagnetic coil, which actuates these contacts. An older 12-pole Square D lighting control contactor and a newer Schneider Electric contactor are shown as examples, highlighting their role in controlling multiple circuits (like 12 single-pole lighting circuits) simultaneously in applications such as industrial or commercial settings.

Goal: Learn the two primary components of an electrical contactor and their basic function.
