Described herein are contactors comprising one or more split or otherwise sectionalized contacts. By comprising split contacts, contactors incorporating features of the present invention increase the number of electrical contact sites between the split contactor and another contactor, allowing current to flow through multiple sites and preventing or mitigating the formation of magnetic fields, harmonic resonance and resulting vibration and noise production. In some embodiments, the contactors comprise at least one bifurcated (split in two) moveable contact and at least one fixed contact. The bifurcated contact can be configured such that it can be easily manipulated as if it were a singular contact, while simultaneously providing the advantages of a bifurcated one. |
