509-BOD-17

The Allen Bradley 509-BOD-17, part of the Bulletin 509 series, is engineered for robust motor control applications. As a full voltage non-reversing starter, it effectively manages motor initiation without the capacity for reverse operation. This unit can function at an operating frequency ranging from 50 Hz to 60 Hz, making it suitable for various industrial environments. The specified rated control supply voltage for this starter lies between 110 and 120 volts AC.

With a release class rating of Class 30, it can accommodate a service limit current of up to 32 Amperes. Its continuous current capacity is rated at 27 Amperes, providing reliable performance during standard operations. Designed for 3-phase systems, it allows for substantial power delivery while ensuring efficiency. Additionally, the starter supports a maximum of 8 auxiliary contacts for expanded functionality.

This device utilizes a direct online (DOL) technique for starting motors, ensuring prompt engagement. It features screw connections for electrical connectivity, simplifying installation and maintenance. Moreover, the overload protection uses a eutectic alloy relay, enhancing safety by preventing overheating. The average operating times for pick-up and drop-out are 22 milliseconds and 18 milliseconds, respectively, facilitating prompt motor response. The auxiliary contacts are constructed from silver material, known for its conductive properties. In operation, the starter dissipates approximately 5.9 Watts of heat, contributing to its overall efficiency and reliability.
