In larger workshops it’s common to see large dust collectors, sometimes up to 10 horsepower. These larger units can place heavy demands on your electrical circuits, and in many cases the startup current can be as much as four to five times the operating current and last for several seconds. This initial surge can over time damage the contacts in the iVAC Pro Switch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstallation of a contactor should be performed by a certified electrician as it involves custom connections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iVAC Contactor kit contains the following materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContactor 3Pole 42 Amp 120Vac control cCSAus approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6′ control cable, 3 x 18G NEMA 5-15P UL\/CSA approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e204 x 108 x 138 mm, IP65 CE enclosure box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x PG21 cable glands UL listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x PG16 cable gland UL listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot Sure About Your Shop Dust Extraction Requirements?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop vacuums and dust collector HP ratings can be a bit confusing. To compel you to purchase, high horsepower figures are often stated on even the smallest machines, using the term “Peak Horsepower”. However, peak horsepower is the point at which a vacuum’s motor stalls, and does not represent the actual horsepower under typical operating conditions, or the unit’s vacuum pressure. Most residential shop vacuums that are sold over the counter are designed to operate on a typical 115Volt, 15 Amp circuit. That said, here are some rules of thumb for deciding whether or not you require an iVAC Contactor for your workshop. iVAC recommends the use of the iVAC Contactor for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003evacuums\/dust collectors operating on 115Vac that are over 1HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003evacuums\/dust collectors over 2.0HP operating on 240Vac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecommercial\/industrial units with a continuous rating of up to 10HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eFeatures \u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl dust collectors up to 10HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in a kit format to enable customized installation for specific requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled from a 115 volt\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ivacswitch.com\/ivac-pro-switch\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"\u003eiVAC Pro Switch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(S11520-A-NA) or an\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ivacswitch.com\/ivac-switch\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"\u003eiVAC Switch Box\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(SB-NA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied with three cable entry clamps and a control cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe iVAC Contactor can withstand start-up currents of up to 150 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintain a running current of up to 40 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to operate at up to 600Vac in either single or three phase mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStill not sure?\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ivacswitch.com\/contact-us\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"\u003eContact Us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand we’ll be glad to help you out!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls Dust Collectors up to 10HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurge current: 150 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning Current: 40 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600Vac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in kit format to allow customized installation, containing\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContactor 3PPole 42 Amp 120Vac control cCSAus approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6′ control cable, 3 x 18G NEMA 5-15P UL\/CSA approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e204 x 108 x 139 mm, IP65 CE enclosure box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x PG21 cable glands UL listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x PG16 cable gland UL listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled by a 115 volt Pro Switch (S11520-A-NA) or an iVAC Switch Box (SB-NA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl voltage: 115Vac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical power requirements of commercially available dust collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ivacswitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Power-Chart1.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-343 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ivacswitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Power-Chart1.png\" alt=\"Power Chart1\" width=\"480\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ivacswitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Power-Chart1.png 480w, https:\/\/www.ivacswitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Power-Chart1-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend the use of the iVAC Contactor for any dust collector operating on 115Vac that is over 1HP, and for any dust collector over 2.0HP operating on 240Vac.
