Learn MoreWhite Paper: Utilizing Solid State Relays in AC Motor Control Applications
Solid State Relays (SSRs) and Solid State Contactors (SSCs) are ideally suited for controlling dynamic loads such as motors, particularly where frequent or multiple start/stop cycles are required i
Learn MoreWhite Paper: How to Select a High Voltage Relay or Contactor
In the most basic terms, a relay is a remotely operated switch designed to isolate voltage and a contactor is a remotely operated switch designed to switch power.
Learn MoreApplication Note: Sensata | Gigavac Patended EPIC® Technology
The GIGAVAC Extended Performance Impervious Ceramic (EPIC®) sealing technology is a major breakthrough in low-cost, high quality sealing of contactors and relays.
Learn MoreApplication Note: Direction of Current Flow for Contactors
All Sensata | Gigavac contactors can carry current in both directions on closed contacts. The term “bidirectional” refers to the ability to switch/open while current is flowing. Most Sensata | Gi
Learn MoreApplication Note: Contact Welding
Sensata | Gigavac has performed extensive testing to determine the make current capability of their contactors.
Learn MoreApplication Note: Driving Contactors with external PWM
Sensata | Gigavac offers the GX14, GX23, and GV200 with built-in PWM economizer (coil option M or N).
Learn MoreApplication Note: Driving HX460 contactors with external PWM
Sensata | Gigavac offers the HX460 with a continuous duty coil. Customers that want to reduce overall power consumption can PWM the coil.
Learn MoreApplication Note: GVL 12V Set/Reset Voltage and Coil Current vs. Temperature
Since Gigavac contactors are operated by a coil that changes resistance with temperature, Pickup Voltage and Drop Out Voltage will decrease at temperatures below 25C and increase at temperatures ab
