Definite purpose contactors are ideal for heating, air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration and food and beverage equipment.  They have become popular for electric motors, lighting, compressors and much more. 

So what is the difference between a contactor and a starter? A manual motor starter is basically an ON-OFF switch with overload protection. A manual motor starter is a motor controller that operates from a toggle handle or push button that is operated by hand.  A contactor is an electrical switch used for switching current on and off in a circuit without overload protection.

A starter is usually an assembly, that includes a contactor plus an overload relay, used to start an electric motor.  Contactors are rated by their current in amps while starters are rated by their horsepower capacity and the current they use.  They are also generally designed for the intended life cycle of the application.

Manufactured by Chint,  these are generally easily interchangeable with other dp contactor brands including Eaton contactors, Schneider, Dayton and Furnas/Siemens.

I started to think about personal body temperature as I was talking to a hot (as in intense) co-worker this morning. We were laughing and thinking about how to “cool him off”.  Then, as I started to write, I thought “I need this more than he does”. Now that I am almost 50, (aaugh, how did that happen?) I could really use an automated body temperature control. Ask anyone around me, sweater on, sweater off, sweater on, sweater off all day long.   

As far as I know a personal mechanical temperature has not been invented.   However, at Marshall Wolf Automation, we offer many temperature control products. Autonics, Panasonic and Simpson are just a few of the brands we carry. One particular controller we carry is the Series TC3YF from Autonics. This is a designated Cooling/Defrost Digital Temperature Controller. (Note, if I think about a nice cold refrigerator will my body temperature go down?)  Refrigeration equipment manufacturers will find these ideal for their needs. The controller maximizes the cooling efficiency of the freezer by removing ice and frost with an auto/manual defrost function. The display range is between -40-212°F with a NTC thermistor input or -148-212°F with a RTD input. 

If you are in the market for a temperature controller, visit our website at www.wolfautomation.com to see all of the varieties we offer. We will also be happy to answer any of your questions. You can call us at 800-325-WOLF or email us at sales@wolfautomation.com. 

Do you need to keep track of time?  How many hours has that machine been running?  How many hours on that one?  Whether you are a refrigeration equipment manufacturer or make food equipment supplies, there's a point where you need to keep track of time in one way or another.  Elapsed Time Meters from Simpson meters makes it easy!  

In 6 different styles, AC or DC, from 1-1/2" to 3-1/2", and non-resettable so they are virtually tamper-proof, one of these is the right fit for you!

Call 800-325-9653 or visit our website at www.wolfautomation.com for more information on how we can help you keep track of time!

Thank you for all of your great application stories! 

We had a good time reading through them and learning about all of the innovative ways our industrial automation products are used.

Here are the four top entries!

* IDEC industrial DC power supplies used in a new invention of a gas water heater timer. Go to www.gaswaterheatertimer.com for more information!

* Our Altech 5 volt DC power supplies for 3-D computer-animated sculptures! One of the specific applications was a tactile 3-D animation to get blind kids interested in math. Learn more here -  Tactile Mathematics Research Group.

* Delta industrial DC power supplies to run linear actuators via a custom built solar tracking control! This is in the R&D stages for one of our customers but quite interesting. The application will mainly be used for solar electric water pumping.

* David from Intuit sent in a hilarious application describing an issue they were having with a test button on an ice cube relay! He solved the issue with our IDEC RH- series ice cube relays. Look for the blog on the full story coming soon!

We will be doing a separate blog on each of these applications in the next few days!

Thank you again to all of our customers that submitted their applications - everything from car washing systems, refrigeration equipment manufacturers, food equipment supplies and a lot of energy management solutions.
