The Allen-Bradley 100-E16EQ01 contactor is a 3-pole contactor with an electronic coil. It belongs to the 100-E line of large industrial contactors from the Allen-Bradley IEC 100 Contactors series. A contactor is used as a switch in industrial control systems. Allen-Bradley manufactures a broad range of compact, large, and safety contactors for industrial applications. The 100-E contactors like the 100-E16EQ01 contactor come with electronic coils and they can be used for applications rated for up to 560 kilowatts or 900 Horsepower output. The single-phase current ratings for 100-E series contactors go up to 2650 Amps. The 100-E contactors are also supported by a wide range of accessories. The 100-E16EQ01 contactor is rated for 18 Amps of current and the coil control voltage range is 12 to 20 Volts DC. Electronic coils with different AC and DC control voltages can be ordered to satisfy specific application requirements.

The Allen-Bradley 100-E16EQ01 contactor has screw type terminals. The contactor also has one normally-closed auxiliary contact. At 30 degrees Celsius, the single phase operational current at 690 Volts AC for the 100-E16EQ01 contactor is 30 Amps. The contactor can be used for switching AC motors. The supported output power ratings for the motors at 50 Hertz are 4 kilowatts at 220 to 240 Volts AC, 7.5 kilowatts at 380 to 400 Volts AC, and 9 kilowatts at 690, 500, 440, and 415 Volts AC. At 60 Hertz, the supported motor ratings are 5 Horsepower at 200 to 230 Volts AC and 10 Horsepower at 460 Volts AC. To prevent equipment damage and injury to the workers, only suitably trained and qualified technical personnel should install and operate the 100-E16EQ01 contactor.
