What is the reason why the 380 AC contactor burns into the line end power line when it is powered on?
Here are the revised answers to your questions:

Reason for 380 AC Contactor Burning on Power-On:
The primary reason a 380V AC contactor burns on power-on is due to incorrect coil voltage selection. The coil voltage of an AC contactor must match the power supply voltage. If a DC contactor is mistakenly used with an AC voltage, or if the coil voltage rating does not match the input voltage, the contactor will burn out immediately upon energization. For instance, connecting a 220V AC contactor to a 380V power supply may cause it to work briefly before burning out, while a DC contactor connected to an AC supply will burn immediately. To avoid this, check the nameplate on the contactor for the correct coil voltage rating, or inspect the voltage marking at the terminal.
Additionally, burnout of the main contact may indicate a problem with the load. The main contact controls the on-off state of the load. Short-circuiting or overloading the load can easily cause the main contact to burn out. In such cases, do not attempt to power on again and inspect the load end for any issues. Once the problem at the load end is resolved, reconnect the AC contactor to the 380V voltage and check its functionality.

Power Cord Burning After Period of Inactivity:
If a 220V to 6V DC power supply burns after being powered off and then re-powered on, it may indicate that the power supply is not sufficiently resistant to current impacts and contains substandard components. This could be due to aging or damage to the power supply components, which may have weakened their ability to handle sudden changes in current.

380 AC Contactor Burning on Power-On - Further Analysis:
The immediate burnout of a 380V AC contactor upon energization suggests a wiring error or component failure. The most likely reason is incorrect wiring of the coil power supply. Specifically, connecting a 220V coil to a 380V power supply will cause the contactor to burn out.
To diagnose the issue, first determine whether the coil or the contact is burned out. If the coil is burned, inspect the control circuit voltage. If the contact is burned, check the maximum current load of the contactor. Additionally, consider the possibility of a product quality issue if the contactor burns out despite being connected to the correct voltage. In such cases, it is advisable to consult a professional for further inspection and repair.
If the main contact is burned out, it may be due to a mismatch between the contactor size and the controlled electrical appliance, or a short circuit in the appliance. If the coil is burned, it could be a sign of a manufacturing defect or component failure. In either case, it is important to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage to the electrical system.
