At the heart of a vacuum contactor is a vacuum interrupter, which consists of two or more contacts enclosed in a sealed vacuum bottle. When the contacts open, an arc is generated. However, because this arc occurs in a vacuum, it is quickly extinguished, preventing sustained electrical discharge and enabling rapid and clean interruption.
