A contact system includes at least one first contact, at least one second contact, and at least one movable contact. A coil is provided which, when energized generates a force. A magnet is also provided, the magnet having a magnetic force. The forces of the coil and magnet attract the at least one movable contact to the at least one first contact. A return spring having a spring force cooperates with the at least one movable contact to return the at least one movable contact to the at least one second contact when the coil is not energized. The sum of the forces applied by the coil and the magnet are sufficient to overcome the spring force of the return spring to provide a balanced force to both the at least one second contact and the at least one first contact.

Fully rated contact system having normally open contact and normally closed contacts

A solenoid is provided for an electrical switch. The solenoid includes a coil having a passageway extending therethrough along a central longitudinal axis. The solenoid also includes a movable core having a coil segment and a magnet segment. The coil segment is received within the passageway of the coil such that the coil extends around the coil segment. The magnet segment includes a radially outer surface relative to the central longitudinal axis of the passageway of the coil. The movable core is movable relative to the coil along the central longitudinal axis such that the coil segment is movable within the passageway of the coil along the central longitudinal axis. A permanent magnet extends around at least a portion of the radially outer surface of the magnet segment of the movable core. The movable core is movable along the central longitudinal axis relative to the permanent magnet.
