Shelly Contactors - Tips and Tricks

Contactors are relays for high amperage or multi-wire circuits. They're simple to use and, when paired with a Shelly relay or energy meter, a properly rated contactor allows you to control any electrical circuit.

When using a contactor with any Shelly PM, the power measurement is lost, I thought this is worth mentioning, it will measure the power drawn bij the contactor, not the actual load.

[@douglasroberson]

Also, you should use a snubber when pairing a contactor with a Shelly relay that has power measurement. I probably should have noted that it really only makes sense to use a contactor with a Shelly that has dry contacts. I'll include that in an upcoming video

Great work Doug!

Ive got a 1PM, on the contactor, I see A1 goes to O on the shelly, would A2 goto the N on the shelly?

[@Obsean1]

Yes that's correct. If the video was panned out you would see that white neutral wire coming from N on the Shelly and wired to A2 on the contactor.
