Capacitor Contactor vs. Standard Contactor

In power systems and industrial control applications, selecting the right contactor is crucial. Different types of contactors vary in design, function, and application scope. This article introduces the differences between CJ19i Capacitor Contactor and CJX2i Standard Contactor, helping you choose the most suitable product.

Contact Design

  • CJ19i Capacitor Contactor: Resistant to inrush currents, ensuring a longer lifespan.
  • CJX2i Standard Contactor: Suitable for general switching applications.

Electrical Features

  • CJ19i: Designed for large inrush currents with pre-charging to reduce power surges.
  • CJX2i: Directly switches electrical currents for standard load control.

Main Function

  • CJ19i: Prevents capacitor overload, limits inrush current, and enhances system stability.
  • CJX2i: Used for switching motors, lighting, and heating equipment.

Applicable Range

  • CJ19i: Widely used in power factor correction, capacitor banks, and power systems.
  • CJX2i: Suitable for motors, lighting, heating, and other industrial applications.

A capacitor contactor is a specialized electrical device designed to control and connect capacitors. It is mainly used in power factor correction systems to improve grid efficiency and reduce energy losses.

Main Uses

Used for switching capacitors to reduce grid losses and enhance power factor.

Key Features

Pre-charging function: Prevents capacitor overload and reduces inrush current impact.
High inrush current resistance: Special contact design extends operational lifespan.
