why do we use magnetic contactors ?circuit breakers are not
enough?

Answer Posted / amit biswas

magnetic contractor is more of a sequence swiitcing device
while later is aprotection device.

even the contractrs on papers can perform the operation of
a cb.But to my cognizance I had never seen any contracor at
HT level

every time a c b operates it required to chare the spring
manually (or motor but with manual interferance) which is
not in case of contractors
