A contactor is an electrically controlled switch (relay) used for switching a power circuit. an electro pneumatic contactor is similar to the above except it uses a pneumatic signal to initiate the switching of the electric power circuit. an electro magnetic contactor is a contactor driven by an electric control signal. It us usually just called a contactor.

What are the is electrical relays and its principals and operation?

An electrical relay uses a low voltage, low current signal to control an electromagnet. When current passes through the electromagnet, it attracts the spring loaded arm with contactors, which will touch some stationary contactors, closing a circuit on a higher voltage/high current circuit. An example of this is when your thermostat 'tells' the air conditioner to turn on. The voltage & current from the thermostat are low, while the voltage & current necessary to run the air conditioner's compressor are high..


Why are sequencers preferred over contactors in ductwork applications?

Sequencers are preferred over contactors in ductwork applications primarily due to their ability to provide more precise control of multiple devices, such as fans and dampers, in HVAC systems. They can sequence the operation of these devices based on specific conditions, improving energy efficiency and system performance. Additionally, sequencers reduce the electrical load during startup, minimizing wear on equipment and enhancing reliability. Their programmability allows for greater flexibility in system management compared to the simpler on/off functionality of contactors.
