Since Gigavac contactors are operated by a coil that changes resistance with temperature, Pick-up Voltage and Drop Out Voltage will decrease at temperatures below 25C and increase at temperatures a
Learn MoreApplication Note: Partially Welded Contacts and Effects on Auxiliary Contacts
We have received some inquiries from customers who claim that the auxiliary contacts are either "welded" or unexpectedly staying closed when the main contacts are open.
Learn MoreApplication Note: Pre-charge Circuits and Capacitors
Inrush currents from capacitors are the most common cause of contactor failure. Capacitors that are not fully charged can result in excessive loads being switched.
Learn MoreApplication Note: Precisely Control Automated Sawing Operation
Precision Automated Saw Applications: Draw Wire Sensors
A number of industrial processes require the precision sawing of raw material to standard lengths.
