The contactor is composed of an electromagnetic system (armature, static iron core, electromagnetic coil), contact system (normally open contact and normally closed contact) and arc extinguishing device. The principle of the electromagnetic contactor is that when the electromagnetic coil of the contactor is powered, a strong magnetic field is generated to attract the armature by the electromagnetic attraction of the static iron core, and the contact is actuated: the normally closed contact is opened, the normally open contact is closed, and the two are linked. When the coil is powered off, the electromagnetic attraction disappears, and the armature is released under the action of the release spring, so that the contact is restored: the normally closed contact is closed, and the normally open contact is opened.
