Help sourcing U.K alternative to U.S.A contactors.

Hi All,

 

I'm new to all this question and answer online so be gentle.

 

I work in a factory maintaining machinery and I'm branching out into the electrical control side of things.

 

The one problem I have is that a lot of our machinery is made over in the USA and is 30-40 years old.

Alot of the control gear is Cutler Hammer and I'm wanting to come away from this and fitted a more readily available U.K items.

 

If I post a few of the items I'd like to swap over then hopefully someone can help point me in the right direction.

 

Cutler Hammer - CE15CNS3 3 pole, open type, AUX:1 NO-side. Coil: 110/120V, 50/60HZ. 12 AMP 600V.

Cutler Hammer - CE15BNS3 3 pole, open type, AUX:1 NO-side. Coil: 110/120V, 50/60HZ. 10 AMP 600V.

Cutler Hammer - CE15ANS3 3 pole, open type, AUX:1 NO-side. Coil: 110/120V, 50/60HZ. 7 AMP 600V.

 

I am also looking to source what we think is a Suppressor Module (whatever one of those is) this is made by Lutze and is 110V. This fits between the A1 & A2 connections on the contactor.

 

Alot of questions I know but like I said I'm new to this side of things.

 

Many Thanks,

 

Danny.

    These contractors may suit your application: http://uk.farnell.com/imo-precision-controls/mb12-s-10110/contactor-12a-110vac/dp/9939873

    You could use the same across the 7, 10, and 12 range.
