Eaton's?Cutler-Hammer Mechanically Held Lighting Contactors are designed for industrial, commercial and outdoor lighting applications where efficient control is required. The mechanically held operation ensures that the contactor will not switch to OFF during control power failure. It also ensures the removal of coil from the circuit for noise-free operation and the elimination of all coil losses after the contactor is latched. The control module microprocessor validates the control signal before operation, so it will not respond to momentary voltage spikes of noise. The operation command has a built-in .4 sec delay to avoid multiple short-term commands that can cause contact fatigue or failure. Also, the feedback loop prevents the contactor from getting out of sequence with switches, even after power failures.

Applications
The mechanically held lighting contactor provides effective control in applications such as office buildings, industrial plants, hospitals, stadiums, airports, etc. They are ideal for applications that require quiet, energy-efficient operation. Designed to handle different load
