Contactor Coils<br />

The coils <strong>of</strong> most modern contactors can be quickly changed without the use <strong>of</strong> any special<br />

tools. These contactor coils may be AC or DC operated.<br />

AC standard coil voltages are 24, 110, 230, 400 Volts 50 Hz.<br />

DC standard coil voltages are 12, 24, 48, 230 Volts DC.<br />

Other non-standard voltage ratings are available on request.<br />

It is most important that the coil voltage, type and value are matched to the supply available. A<br />

230 Volt supply will not energise a 400 Volt coil. A 400 Volt supply will operate a 230 Volt<br />

coil, however the coil will quickly overheat and burn-out.<br />
