الوصف

The GE IC2800A501AF23C is a high-current, time delay contactor rated for 100A with a 115VDC coil. This robust device is designed for industrial applications that require sequenced switching of high-power electrical loads with a built-in time delay function.

Technical Breakdown

The defining characteristic of the IC2800A501AF23C 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 a new one begins.

With its impressive 100A current rating, this contactor is built for demanding, high-power loads like large motors, industrial heating systems, or lighting arrays. The 115VDC 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 a Normally Closed (NC) auxiliary contact and a separate Normally Open/Normally Closed (NO/NC) auxiliary contact block. 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 IC2800A501AF23C 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.
