Default Re: Contactors : and how they work

whats the main reason for using a contactor, rather than connecting direct to the board? large currents?

when I helped wire one up, the contactor were feeding outside lights, and had 2 cables coming into the contactor from the board, one to close (i'd say trigger) the contactor, and one fed the lights. would it have been possible to just have one cable incoming from the board to the contactor, and using that to close the contactor and feed to the lights, rather than having 2 cables, get me??? :S cheers

If You Build It, They Will Come n If it aint broken don't fix it!
