electrical contactor

[Teuta]

Hello everybody. Could anybody tell me where can I find the symbol for
electrical contactor in visio? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactor).
Thank you.

Hi Teuta,

I'm not sure what the exact symbol you're looking for is, but there is a
stencil called "Switches and Relays" in Visio Professional.

In Visio 2007, it's found under File > Shapes > Engineering > Electrical
Engineering > Switches and Relays...

In Visio 2003, the path is probably similar, but maybe missing the
"Engineering" bit.

Have a look there for starters.

A contactor is a relais for great currents.
I allready drawed the front view of a fuse box.
The trick is to start with a rectangle, 1 module width = 18 mm. Add two
connection points to it. Make the connection points "inward and outward".
This way you make a stencil of general modules of different widths. Then
you specialise them with buttons and contact points.

Otherwise, if you know a part number, it cannnot be hard to find an
µAutocad drawing and to convert it.
