Forgive my ignorance, but new to the motor controls game. I need a contactor for a 1 hp sump pump that is being connected to a level control circuit. The pump data indicates that it is 115 volt, 1 hp, and draws 10 amps. does not indicate if this is running or starting current.
Trying to discern the difference between relays, contactors, and motor starters. I understand relays. Contacotrs appear to be a relay that may be same primary and secondary coil voltage, just diffeent draws for current on the control and dry contact side.
And a motor starter appears to be a contactor with overload protection....Is this correct?
