Answer Posted / jesus
Relays and Contactors are electromagnetic switches. The only
difference is that relays are usually used for low voltage
applications while contactors are used for higher voltage
application. Contactors usually have Overload protection.
Some examples that I can give (at least in Manufacturing of
Industrial Control panels):
-Relays are use as electromagnetic switches to control
certain parts of a circuit (low voltage application). A
better example would be such as if you want your circuit to
sound a horn when a certain abnormality is happening at a
certain period of time, then depending how you set up your
circuit, a specific relay will either open or close and you
horn will start making the sound.
-Contactors can be used for example, to start motors or a
number of motors that require a higher voltage in order for
the motor or motors start working. In the example that I
just gave, contactors work as starters.
