The 100-E65KD00 contactor from Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation is a 3-pole contactor that does not have any auxiliary contacts. It is also a direct-on-line type of contactor that supports AC and DC voltage and that is part of the Allen-Bradley IEC 100 Contactors series. The 100-E65KD00 3-pole contactor is well-suited for operation with AC-1, AC-2, and AC-3 switching motors and it is designed to be environmentally friendly, highly efficient, and flexible both on its own and with a variety of auxiliary devices and accessories. It can operate safely at ambient temperatures of up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Celsius. The 100-E65KD00 3-pole contactor can operate at a frequency rating of 50 or 60 Hertz. Its current ratings are 65 Amps with AC-3 motors rated at 400 Volts and 105 Amps with AC-1 motors rated at 690 Volts.

The output power of the Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 100-E65KD00 3-pole direct-on-line contactor can be measured in kilowatts and in Horsepower. The maximum kilowatt output power rating of the 100-E65KD00 3-pole contactor is 37 kilowatts at 690 Volts and 50 Hertz, and the contactor’s maximum Horsepower output rating is 60 Horsepower at 575 Volts and 60 Hertz. Both output power ratings are the output power ratings that are possible with AC-2 and AC-3 switching motors. This contactor can operate with an auxiliary contact block that has 2 auxiliary contacts and screw terminals and that can be connected securely without tools. Another key optional accessory that is compatible with the 100-E65KD00 3-pole direct-on-line contactor is the mechanical latch that will ensure that the contactor stays switched on even when there is a voltage failure.
