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. ... The correct amount of wipe keeps the contact tips clean which provides positive electrical contact when the poles are closed. Blowout coils are connected to each pole to quickly extinguish the arc within the arc chute. ...

CONT

Magnetic blowout coils work on the principle of motor action; that is, the arc is lengthened and extinguished by the magnetic field setup due to a current-carrying conductor. Since the blowout coil is in series with the main line contacts, the strength of the magnetic field setup and the resultant extinguishing action will be in proportion to the size of the arc.
