New to Scolmore’s Elucian consumer unit range is a range of 2 Pole (20A) or 4 Pole (25A, 40A and 63A) Modular Contactors in a variety of Normally Open or Normally Closed contact configurations compatible with the Elucian range of Consumer Units.
A contactor is an electrically controlled switch similar to a relay – essentially a low voltage circuit component used for switching a higher-current electrical power circuit (more than 15 amps or a few kw). It can be connected directly to devices with a high load, as it has rapid open and closing features designed to control and suppress the electrical arc discharged when a heavy motor current is interrupted.
The new Elucian 2 Pole 20A Modular Contactors are 18mm width and will take up 1 space / way inside a consumer unit. The Elucian 4 Pole 25A Modular Contactors are 36mm width and will take up 2 spaces / ways inside a consumer unit. The Elucian 4 Pole 40A and 63A Modular Contactors are 54mm width and will take up 3 spaces/ways inside a consumer unit.
