Motor Load Contactors

Motor load contactors are designed to handle the higher inrush currents of electric motors. They provide safe and reliable switching for pumps, compressors, fans, and other inductive loads in industrial and HVAC applications.

Motor load contactors at Contactor Depot are available from 30A up to 100A, covering a wide range of HVAC and industrial needs. We also offer multiple coil voltage options, including 24V, 110/120V, and 220/240V, making it easy to select the right contactor for your system requirements.

At Contactor Depot, motor load contactors are available in 2-pole, 3-pole, and 4-pole configurations to fit different systems. Choosing the correct pole count depends on whether the motor is single-phase or three-phase and the control requirements of your installation.

Lighting contactors can be used for motor loads when the electrical characteristics of the system fall within the rated specifications of the device. While they are primarily designed for resistive loads such as industrial lighting, many models are capable of handling moderate inductive loads, including motors, pumps, or compressors. It is essential to verify coil voltage, contact ratings, and switching cycles to ensure compatibility. For heavy-duty or continuous motor operations, a contactor specifically rated for motor loads may be more suitable.
