Danfoss contactors a firm favourite in the welding industry

Danfoss contactors a firm favourite in the welding industry

11 August 2009
Take a look inside any portable transformer or inverter type welding machine and chances are you’ll find a Danfoss contactor inside. Designed to make and break high-current loads, contactors keep welding equipment running smoothly and safely. With a reputation as the best in the industry, Danfoss contactors are now the firm favourites of a leading Polish welding equipment producer.

Creating partnerships based on quality and trust

There are a variety of electrical welding technologies, but the need to cut in and out of the main welding current is common to them all – and this is where contactors come in. The Danfoss CI range of contactors provides trouble-free switching and maximum protection for electrical welding equipment. Available in a wide range of sizes from CI6 and up, the CI range is solidly constructed and reliable. And because Danfoss contactors are renowned for their ability to cope with the extreme performance demanded by top welding equipment manufacturers, they’re a popular choice.

With the CI range, you also benefit from a compact design, a screw or DIN rail mounting and a power range from 2.2 to 90 KW.

Danfoss’ product quality is also backed up by first-rate customer service. When Polish-based welding equipment manufacturer Lincoln Electric Bester needed a specially tailored DC contactor for their controllers, Danfoss sent a design team to work closely with the company. The tailored contactor tested well, cementing a partnership based on quality, reliability and trust.
Besides Danfoss contactors, other Danfoss products are also used in welding equipment
Besides Danfoss contactors, other Danfoss products are also used in welding equipment. Many welding machines often use a neutral gas which needs to be controlled, and small Danfoss solenoid valves are popular products for this function.

So next time you check your welding equipment, make sure there’s some Danfoss inside.

Contactors and motor starters

Our contactors and circuit breakers are very often used to start electrical motors, compressors and pumps in industrial installations.

Contactors come in many forms with varying capacities and features. Unlike a circuit breaker a contactor is not intended to interrupt a short circuit current.
