الوصف
The GE IC2820A200B3F is an industrial-grade relay with a 115 VDC coil and a contact configuration of 2 Normally Open (NO) contacts. This device is designed for use in control circuits that require a reliable, instantaneous switching action.
Technical Breakdown 🧠
Unlike a time-delay relay, the IC2820A200B3F operates instantly when its coil is energized. Its primary function is to provide a clean, isolated switch that can be controlled by a PLC or other low-power logic circuit. The 115 VDC coil is a key characteristic, as it is a common control voltage in industrial plants and is often supplied by a reliable battery backup system, ensuring the relay operates even during a power outage.
With its 2 Normally Open (NO) contacts, this relay is designed to close two separate circuits simultaneously when the coil is energized. This makes it ideal for applications that require a single command to activate multiple devices, such as a motor starter and an indicator light.
Applications 🏭
The IC2820A200B3F is a vital component in industrial control panels for:
- Signal Multiplication: Allowing a single output from a PLC to control multiple devices or circuits.
- Interlocking: Creating safety interlocks where a condition must be met before a machine can operate.
- General-Purpose Switching: Serving as a reliable, instantaneous switch for control circuits.
- Power Systems: Used in utility and power generation applications where high-voltage DC control is the standard.
