How should a contactor installation be accepted?

Test pickup, release, auxiliary contacts, motor rotation, sound, current and temperature rise. Perform loaded start-stop tests according to actual use. Checklist: Define capacity, accuracy, materials and operating environment before requesting quotes on a uniform basis. Request specification sheets, test reports, certificates, maintenance manuals and spare-part lists. During acceptance, verify appearance, dimensions, functions, safety protection and packaging, and keep test records. Do not compare unit price alone; include customization, freight, spare parts, after-sales support and downtime risk. Keep written records of inquiries, confirmations, FAT, acceptance and warranty commitments.
