Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a control circuit for a contactor and a control method thereof. The control circuit comprises: a pulse converter configured to convert a turn-on control signal into a continuous pulse signal; a first controller configured to generate a first breaking control signal at a first time in response to detection of the disappearance of the continuous pulse signal received from the pulse converter; a second controller configured to generate a second breaking control signal at a second time in response to detection of the disappearance of the continuous pulse signal received from the pulse converter, wherein the first time is earlier than the second time; and a coil driver configured to turn off a current of the excitation coil according to the received first breaking control signal, and if the current is not turned off according to the first breaking control signal, to further turn off the current of the excitation coil according to the second breaking control signal, thereby realizing the breaking of the main contact.
