iVac Contactor; 115Vac Trigger; 10HP Capacity
iVAC Automated Dust Collection - Contactor (For Your Dust Collector)
The iVAC CONTACTOR is basically a heavy duty 3 pole relay; housed in an electrical box. Used as a component of the iVAC Pro System, the iVAC Pro Contactor module has been designed to work with the iVAC Switch Box in order to switch high current surges to the dust collector. It can be controlled from an iVAC Switch Box or an iVAC Pro Switch 115-102S.
It has the ability to withstand start up currents of up to 150 Amps and then maintain a running current of up to 40 Amps. The contacts are also rated to operate at up to 240Vac, either single or three phase. This enables the iVAC Contactor to handle the 1.5HP dust collectors at 115Vac and up to 10HP at 230Vac 3 phase. The iVAC Contactor contains all UL approved electrical components and should be installed by a licensed electrician.
The iVAC Contactor should also be used in conjunction with the iVAC Pro SWITCH units. If your Dust Collector is more than 1HP on a 115Vac system OR more than 1.5HP on a 240Vac system you will need an iVAC Contactor. The iVAC Contactor can control dust collectors up to 10HP.
NOTE - You MUST use a contactor IF your dust collector draws more than 9amps @ 115VAC or 8amps @240VAC. Check Your Dust Collector's Motor Tag To Confirm It's Power Requirement. When building an iVAC Pro system, you Must use an iVAC Switch Box or an iVAC Pro Switch 115-102S. Even though your Dust Collector may run on 230Vac the contactor has to be "Triggered" with 115Vac... and thus the correct iVAC Switch unit must be used.
