Contactor Question.

Zoomup
So, contestant electrician you have chosen as your specialist question electrical contactors. Here is your first specialist question for 10 points.


Q.1. Regarding an "Enbray" type 2Z heating contactor rated at 100 Amps 250 Volts, made to B.S. 5424,  containing a coil and electrical contacts, what other unusual electrical component is found inside?

    A full wave bridge rectifier, greatly reduces noise when energised.

    Still makes a "clunk" when it is operated, but no ongoing noise, unlike contactors with AC coils that tend to produce a continual buzz.

    given the price you could be forgiven for assuming there was a gold bar in there as well. ?

    Pssssst broadgage,


    would you like the chance to double your score points?


    If so, just tell me what other unexpected thing, ignoring gold bars, is found inside the unit.
