Contactor Noisy

dingding · 2010-06-30 20:05:49

I have a system for ensuring that only one shower is on at a time. One of the contactors when energised is very noisy. Is there anything that can be done to reduce the noise or is is a case of just dumping the contactor and getting a new one. Apart form the noise everything works fine. The contactor would be about 5 years…

try powering the contactor off and on again , this sometimes reduces the noise if not just replace

You could try using a soild state relay. It wouldnt make any noise. Expensive.
