Siemens Lighting Contactors

✓ Authorized Siemens distributor

✓ Hard-to-find and manufacturer-specific equipment

✓ Since 1972

Photocells and timeclocks do nothing without Siemens lighting contactors behind them. Carrying that line since 1972, Bud Ferguson's Industrial Control & Supply Inc. stocks both classes. Property managers and electricians order Siemens lighting contactors from one warehouse, whatever the state. Over fifty years of stock keeps hard-to-find and manufacturer-specific versions available.

Inrush, Noise, and Coil Power across Siemens Lighting Contactors

Lamp circuits draw heavy inrush, so Siemens lighting contactors use contacts rated for that surge. Tungsten and ballast loads climb far past their running current at the moment of switching. Latching versions hold position without pulling coil power once thrown. Energized coils on the other type stay audible in a quiet space. Grouping poles in one enclosure switches a whole set of circuits together. Surge capacity is what separates these from a general purpose device.

Options Stocked for Lighting Panels

Mechanically held ranges and electrically operated ones both fall inside our Siemens lighting contactors. HVAC equipment on the same board takes DP contactors rather than a lighting unit. Small runs and large multi-circuit panels are both covered by the range. Fans and pumps sharing that enclosure move to our magnetic starters for overload protection. Voltages on the coil match the timeclock or building system already wired in. Auxiliary contacts and mounting hardware ship alongside where needed. Consumable parts such as coils and contact kits back the units carried.

Wiring a Replacement into the Same Controls

Swapping Siemens lighting contactors for the wrong holding type breaks the control scheme. Momentary signals suit one version and a maintained output suits the other. Timeclocks, photocells, and building automation each behave differently. Sorting out that pairing is what our electrical equipment supplier does before quoting. Schedules and existing wiring diagrams tell most of the story. Lights that will not turn off are usually a holding type mismatch.

Switch the Lights Back On

Dark parking lots and buildings burning all night both trace back to Siemens lighting contactors. Markings on the existing unit give holding type, pole count, and coil voltage. Wider switching needs come off the same shelf through our electrical contactors. Retrofits to LED often change the load without changing the enclosure. Cartons leave one warehouse for buildings in every corner of the country. Pass along the panel details so a quote reaches you on the lighting contactor that switches those circuits again.
