Description
The Allen-Bradley 100-DCE-180 is a premier solution for high-power industrial motor switching, utilizing vacuum technology to extinguish arcs more efficiently than traditional air-break contactors. This technology not only extends the electrical life of the contacts but also makes the unit ideal for applications in mining, oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing where dust and contaminants are present. As part of the Bulletin 100-D line, the 100-DCE-180 is rated for 180A (AC-3) and 250A (AC-1), providing robust performance for demanding conveyor systems, large pumps, and industrial compressors.
Equipped with an advanced electronic DC-controlled coil, the 100-DCE-180 offers significant energy savings and reduced heat dissipation compared to conventional AC-operated coils. Its compact design allows for high-density mounting in control cabinets while maintaining compliance with global standards including CE, UL, and CSA. By integrating this 180A Allen-Bradley contactor into your motor control center (MCC), you benefit from reduced maintenance intervals and enhanced system reliability, ensuring maximum uptime for your most critical power-intensive processes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current rating of the Allen-Bradley 100-DCE-180?
The 100-DCE-180 is rated for 180 Amps under the AC-3 duty cycle (inductive loads like motors) and up to 250 Amps under the AC-1 duty cycle (non-inductive or slightly inductive loads).
What is the maximum motor power this contactor can handle?
At a standard 400V/415V rating, the 100-DCE-180 can control motors up to 110 kW. At 690V, it is capable of handling motors up to 160 kW.
How many poles does the 100-DCE-180 have?
This is a 3-pole (3P) contactor, designed for standard three-phase AC motor control applications.
What mounting options are available for this unit?
The 100-DCE-180 is designed for panel mounting within an enclosure. Because of its vacuum technology, it can often be mounted in various orientations, though vertical mounting is standard for ease of wiring.
What is the difference between Bulletin 100-C and Bulletin 100-D?
While Bulletin 100-C covers smaller, general-purpose contactors (up to 97A), Bulletin 100-D is the heavy-duty range designed for larger currents (up to 860A) and more demanding industrial duty cycles.
