Each well of an electric fryer requires two switching contactors. The first in line is the primary contactor and the second in line is the heat contactor. When open, the primary contactor does not allow power to flow to the heat contactor. When closed, the primary supplies voltage to the heat contactor. When the heat contactor is open, no voltage is supplied to the heating elements. When the heat contactor closes, voltage is supplied to the heating elements.
