A contactor is an electrically controlled switch ( a relay) used for switching a power or control circuit.[ 1] A contactor is controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit. Contactors come in many forms with varying capacities and features. Unlike a circuit breaker a contactor is not intended to interrupt a short circuit current.

Contactors range from those having a breaking current of several amps and 24 V DC to thousands of amps and many kilo volts. The physical size of contactors ranges from a device small enough to pick up with one hand, to large devices approximately a meter ( yard) on a side.

Contactors are used to control electric motors, lighting, heating, capacitor banks, and other electrical loads.
