Eaton xStart Contactor, 24 V dc Coil, 3-Pole, 32 A, 15 kW, 3NO, 400 V ac

Control and protect your industrial motor with this contactor from Eaton. It lets you manage the current flow to a motor so you can safely switch it on and off repeatedly, prolonging its lifespan. A power rating of 15kW makes the unit a practical choice for heavy-duty industrial applications. It's SmartWire DT compatible, which means you can link it to your control panel using a single cable, reducing the wiring needs of your circuit and supporting a tidy setup. You'll find contactors like this used in switchgear systems.

• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +40°C makes it compatible with demanding conditions
• Current rating of 32A for use on high-current consuming applications
• Integrated suppressor circuit for protection against transient voltages
• Rated impulse withstand voltage of 8kV to handle sudden voltage surges

The main difference is that contactors are designed with a higher current capacity. They can also be triggered remotely, so there's no need for a wire link between your controller and the machine.
