When planning a new factory, the energy concept can’t be an afterthought, it must be built in from day one. The shift away from fossil fuels toward full electrification simplifies installation but increases power demand.

This webinar explains the main sources of losses in electromechanical contactors and shows why terminal temperature is the key indicator for real applications. Practical examples illustrate temperature limits, critical components, and how proper application assessment and testing help avoid failures.

Highlights include

  • Main loss sources in electromechanical contactors
  • Impact of losses on device heating
  • Application examples and cooling effects

Key Takeaways

  • Basics of the DC contactors thermal behavior
  • Assessment of the thermal balance of the contactor
  • How to thermally handle high current and high temperatures
