What is the difference between Relay and Contactor..

Answer / gafoor

Most circuit breakers are thermal devices that when excess
current run through them they heat up and trip (open up).
They can also be used as a switch to open a circuit.A
contactor is a electric relay that is essentially a
solenoid and a pair of electrical contacts. The solenoid is
activated and it closes the contacts
