Electrical circuits are switched on and off using a contactor, a type of electrical equipment. It is thought of as a special form of relay. Applications requiring a higher current carrying capacity are used contactors, and those requiring a lower current are used relays. This is the key difference between a contactor and a relay. Contactors are compact and easily mounted in the field. Usually, these electrical devices have a large number of contacts. These contacts, which are frequently open in their normal states, supply electricity to the load when the contactor coil is activated. Contactors are often used to regulate electric motors.
