Scope of application
HCH8s Modular Contactor (also known as analog contactors and architectural contactors) are mainly used in power systems with AC 50Hz/60Hz, rated working voltage up to 400V and rated working current up to 100A. They are used as remote switches and control circuits in AC-1 and AC-7a (non-inductive or low-inductive loads, resistance furnaces, household appliances and similar low-inductive loads). It can also be used to control the load of household motor. Modular Contactors cant't be used in break short-circuit currents, so appropriate short-circuit protective appliances (such as small circuit breakers) should be selected when using them. It meets the standard IEC 61095.
HCH8s contactor can expand auxiliary control, protection and indication functions.
HCH8s Modular Contactor is a kind of control device used for long distance connection and disconnection of inductionless or low inductive load, resistance furnace, household appliances and similar low inductive load, household motor, etc.
HCH8s Modular Contactor are mainly used in homes, hotels, apartments, office buildings, public buildings, shopping malls, gymnasiums and other places to achieve automatic control functions.

Working principle
When the coil is electrified, the coil current generates magnetic field, which generates enough electromagnetic suction to overcome the reaction force, and the armature is sucked in to make the contact connected. When the coil voltage disappears or the coil voltage will be low to a certain value, that is, when the so-called release voltage, the magnetic flux generated by the armature end surface decreases, the electromagnetic suction begins to be smaller than the reaction force produced by the reaction spring and the contact spring. The armature of the contactor is released under the action of this reaction force, leaving the yoke, and the contact breaks off immediately.
