The 100-D180-VYU connector is a neutral bridge connector that is compatible with contactors from the 100-D115 to 100-D180 line in the IEC 100 and Bulletin 100-D contactor series by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. This neutral bridge is meant to be used with Wye-Delta connections and it is meant to provide grounding to the whole contactor system. For Wye-Delta systems, the primary windings need to be grounded and that is the main reason why this bridge connector is used in Wye-Delta systems. The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 100-D180-VYU neutral bridge connector can be used at different voltage levels since it has been designed to operate with a whole range of contactors from the Bulletin 100-D series. This connector consists of a metal part that can be easily adapted to different equipment with circuitry. This part is made to be installed among the contactor wiring without the need for any additional parts such as a terminal block, terminal lug, or any other connection equipment.
The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 100-D180-VYU neutral bridge connector provides a grounding mechanism to circuitry that includes contactors and other parts in an electrical circuit. The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 100-D180-VYU neutral bridge connector needs to be installed when the technicians are performing the wiring installations and making connections between the switches and the power sources in the system. Some of the benefits of grounding equipment like this connector in a system include protection from voltage spikes and reduced electromagnetic interference during operations. This part also helps to eliminate electric shock hazards, and it is meant to be used exclusively when a Wye-Delta connection has been made. Wye-Delta connections are available in 3-phase applications. The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 100-D180-VYU neutral bridge connector is made of stainless steel. If this connector is going to be exposed directly to a harsh environment, it must be evaluated first to ensure that it can withstand operation in that environment.
