WEG CWM18-00-04X18 : 4-Pole Lighting Contactor, Normally Closed, 120 VAC 50/60 Hz Coil Voltage, 30A Maximum Amperage Rating Ballast / LED , IEC 60947 / UL 508 / CSA 22.2 #14 Standards
The WEG CWM18-00-04X18 is a 4-pole, normally closed, electrically held lighting contactor rated for 30A ballast and LED loads at up to 600VAC, with a 120VAC control coil. Designed for lighting control panels and energy management systems, a single 120VAC control signal switches up to four lighting circuits simultaneously.
Best for: Best for commercial lighting control applications that require a fail-safe lights-on default with a 120VAC control coil.
Why Normally Closed — and Why It Matters for Your Application
A normally closed (NC) lighting contactor keeps lights on by default and requires a continuously energized coil to turn them off. In a fail-safe lighting design — common in occupied commercial and institutional buildings — the NC configuration ensures lights remain on if the control circuit loses power or fails. This eliminates the need for more expensive latching contactors in applications where lights-on is the required fail state. If your specification or sequence of operations calls for fail-safe illumination, this is the correct choice.
