Schaltbau contactors –
electric arcs don’t stand a chance

The quality of a contactor is best seen when switching it off. Electric arcs are ignited between the contacts as they open – just like in a thundercloud. In order to extinguish these arcs we have incorporated some sophisticated solutions in our contactors: magnetic fields drive the arc into the arc chute within a few milliseconds.
