This gives an exterior resistant to both impact and moisture.
Inert internal gases prevent excessive arcing between the mercury and metal electrodes, extending the components' life and therefore saving money.
Main benefits of mercury contactors from ICD Controls are: very long life, high quality, excellent reliability and outstanding value.
Contactors range in size from 20 to 100A in single-, two-, three- or four-pole configurations with both normally open and normally closed contacts.
Standard coil voltages range from 6 to 250V DC and 24 to 480V AC which cover the majority of applications.
Nonstandard coil voltages are available on request.
