IC2812B107 and IC2812B207 Motor Field Contactors. These extremely fast-acting contactors are designed specifically for synchronous-motor applications. The normally open and closed poles have the correct amount of overlap to assure against the build-up of high-induced voltages in the motor field when excitation is removed....
