Wiring a contactor involves connecting power and control wires to the appropriate terminals on the contactor. Here are the general steps to wire a contactor:
- Turn off the power supply to the contactor to prevent electrical shock.
- Identify the power supply wires that will connect to the contactor’s main terminals (typically labeled L1, L2, L3).
- Connect the power supply wires to the appropriate main terminals on the contactor.
- Identify the control wires that will trigger the contactor to turn on
- Connect the control circuit wires from a switch or relay to terminals A1(+)and A2(-) on the contactor.
- connect the motor cable to the contactor T1,T2,T3
- Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and connected
- Turn on the power and start controlling it with your switch.
