Back to site yesterday AGAIN
I want to give this product the benefit of the doubt ... however yesterday I purchased 4 new brand new MCE 12 amp contactors (230 VAC coils) ... 1 out of the 3 faulty out the packaging ... yes I know they will replace it free but come on.
I did some tests on the units ... top to bottom of the contactor ... on average 20 mVAC ... top of contactor to the bottom of the o/l relay on average around 300 mVAC.
Did thermal tests on the units while running ... depending on the load and type of enclosure ... and the applications ... between 30 and 70 degrees C.
A note ... some of the contactors ... are used for dryers which have a set point of 85 degrees C and switching often ... the temperature in the panel is around 50 degrees C.
Averything seems normal if you take into consideration the application.
However something I did notice while carrying out the test ... the blue flashes as the units switch ... not normal ... it reminds me of crabtree plugs switches back in the 90's.
I need to find a data sheet for this product and check if the model is correct for the constant switching and load.
I decided to contact the technical department if we can resolve these issues.
