Working Mechanism

  • Eaton DC contactor shunt kits consist of a resistor or a set of resistors connected in parallel with the contactor.
  • When the contactor is closed and the circuit is energised, the current flows through both the contactor and the shunt resistors.
  • When the contactor opens, the current continues to flow through the shunt resistors, providing a low-resistance path for the current to follow and protecting the contactor and the circuit from damage.

Standards and Approvals

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Eaton DC contactor shunt kits require maintenance?

It is recommended to periodically inspect them to ensure that they are clean and free of any damage or wear that could affect their performance.

What is the significance of the shunt in DC contactors?

The shunt allows contactors to use as switches for monitoring and control. They isolate electrical loads without breaking the main current flow.
