About the 78090-8R
The 78090-8R component is a Terminal Screw Contactor from Reliance Electric. While Reliance--sometimes known as Baldor Reliance or Asea Brown Boveri--originally marketed this product, it has ceased to be available from the OEM. AX Control typically has this contactor in stock and ready to ship from our warehouse shelves.
The 78090-8R contactor is designed as an electrically controlled divider that can switch current on or off through the control of current via internal contacts. It can break or make connections between a power source and the load. Contactors are an older method to control voltages and can only control lower voltages. However, arcing rarely occurs as circuits open and close, which is a benefit.
The 78090-8R is designed with several terminal screws and will have specific wiring requirements. Be sure to refer to original documentation from Reliance Electric for information regarding proper installation techniques and handling specifications. These documents will also have recommendations for maintenance and storage.
