Here's a lighting contactor I installed yestersday in Flying Jay refinery.
I snapped it with my camera phone and posted it because I know everyone likes seeing pictures.
It's actually a motor starter with the overloads removed and the 480 coil changed to 120. The stainless hoffman box is also recycled.
Don't know why they're trying to skimp on stuff but I install what they give. I just hope this 'skimping' doesn't also reflect on safety stuff.:001_huh:
The blue is the feed, one b;ack runs the lights and the other runs the photocell which runs the coil. And the extra contacts are for future additions.
