Function
The 3RT1966-5AD31 coil is the heart of the 3RT126 vacuum contactor. When the specified control voltage (42-48V AC or DC) is applied across the screw terminals, the coil generates a magnetic field. This field is responsible for pulling the armature to change the state of the contactor (closing the main power contacts), allowing the flow of high-current power to a motor or load. The changeover mechanism allows for a smooth transition during switching operations, and the economy circuit ensures efficient power use once the contactor is closed.
