100-D180T00

The 100-D180T00 contactor is a Bulletin 100-D large-frame contactor with a conventional coil rated for 240 Volts AC at 50 Hertz and 277 Volts AC at 60 Hertz. It is manufactured by Allen-Bradley. The Bulletin 100-D range of Allen-Bradley contactors includes several products designed for specific applications including safety contactors, compact contactors, and miniature contactors. The 100-D180T00 contactor is part of the Bulletin 100-D product line of large-frame contactors that have either an electronic or conventional coil. Both types of coils can support AC or DC voltages. The current rating of the 100-D180T00 contactor as per manufacturer specifications is 180 Amps. The number of main poles on the contactor is 3. There are no auxiliary contacts available on the contactor. The environmental protection rating of this contactor is IP 00 and it is designed to be panel mounted.

A contactor like the Allen-Bradley 100-D180T00 Bulletin 100-D contactor is similar to a relay in that both are used for the switching of electrical circuits. However, contactors have higher voltage ratings compared to relays. The highest isolation voltage rating for the 100-D180T00 contactor is 1000 Volts and it has been tested to withstand an electrical impulse of 12 kilovolts. For storage, the temperature of the surrounding air should be between -40 and 80 degrees Celsius. For operation, the temperature of the surrounding air should be between -25 and 60 degrees Celsius. At temperatures higher than 60 degrees Celsius, the current carrying ability of the 100-D180T00 contactor must be reduced to 85% of its full rated capacity to allow the contactor to operate at up to 70 degrees Celsius. To ensure proper operation and long term reliability, the contactor installation should be performed by trained technical personnel.
