GE IC2800A501AB24D TD CNTR,100A,1NC,230VDC

الوصف

The GE IC2800A501AB24D is a heavy-duty, time delay contactor rated for 100A with a 230 VDC coil. This robust device is designed for industrial applications that require sequenced switching of high-power electrical loads.

Technical Breakdown 🧠

This industrial-grade contactor’s defining characteristic is its time delay capability. Unlike a standard contactor that operates instantaneously when its coil is energized, this model includes an integrated delay before its main contacts close or open. This feature is crucial for managing complex operational sequences, such as staggering the startup of large motors to prevent inrush currents from overwhelming the power grid or allowing other processes to finish before engaging a new one.

The impressive 100A current rating means it’s built for demanding, high-power loads like large motors, industrial heating systems, or lighting arrays. The 230 VDC coil is another key feature, as DC control circuits are common in industrial facilities, especially those with backup power systems. This ensures the contactor can function reliably even during a power outage.

Additionally, the contactor is equipped with at least one Normally Closed (NC) auxiliary contact. These low-current contacts are mechanically linked to the main contacts, serving a vital role in control circuit feedback, interlocking, and signaling. They are essential for confirming the contactor’s status to the PLC or other control logic.

Applications 🏭

The GE IC2800A501AB24D is a fundamental component in industrial control panels for:

• Motor Sequencing: Preventing electrical overload by staggering the start-up of multiple large motors.
• Process Timing: Providing a precise, time-delayed switching function in manufacturing or chemical processes.
• Emergency Systems: Ensuring backup systems or generators are brought online in a controlled, time-delayed manner after a main power failure.
• Industrial Automation: Serving as a reliable, high-current switching device in complex automated systems where timing is critical.
