WHERE TO USE
Use for heavy duty dc industrial applications such as steel mills, cranes, material handling, rapid transit as well as generalduty machine tool, textile machinery and similar applications. Contactors have a steel base insulated from the electrical circuits. They can be mounted on either metal or insulating panels. NEMA Size 1-5 are available in various NO and NC pole combinations. Sizes 6-10 available in NO pole only. Advanced design arc chutes (non-asbestos) provide make or interrupt ratings of up to ten times the contactor ratings for 600volt applications and four times the contactor ratings for 1000-volt applications. The arc is completely extinguished within the arc chute structure. Select-contactor ratings on the basis of both dc current-carrying capacity and blowout ratings. The blowout rating establishes the contactor current rating and interrupting rating. Larger contactors are used because the increased tip gap provides improved interruption on the lower current application.
CONTACTORS, RELAYS

The function of the blowout coil is to move the arc upward at the same time the contacts are opening, thus forcing the arc away from the tips and into the arc chute at a faster rate. For no-load operation choose contactors from Step 1 page 5-3. Earlier designs for this application did not contain arc chute or blow-out coil. Contactors listed contain arc chute and blow-out coils and will operate under these same conditions.

For motor and resistive loads choose contactors with the required dc current-carrying capacity as given in the application table on page 5-6. For resistive and motor loads through 1000-volt motor applications, specify units with maximum blowout ratings listed for each size from Step 1 tables. For moderately inductive loads, such as motor elds with discharge resistors, select contactors with blowout ratings two to three times rated full-load dc current. The discharge resistor can be permanently connected in parallel with the load or can be connected across the load with a normally closed pole. A contactor with NO and NC pole can be used. The normally open pole will disconnect power. The discharge resistor should not exceed four times the load resistance for 250 volts or two times the load resistance for 600 volts. For motor and resistive loads, contactors will interrupt ten times blowout rating at 600 volts and four times blowout rating at 1000 volts, maximum. See application table, page 5-6. For highly inductive loads, such as brake coils without discharge resistors, use two poles in series for opening both sides of the line. For highly inductive loads such as IC9528A106 brakes or equivalent magnets, choose contactors with blowout ratings equal to load current. Normally closed pole applications. For listed NC devices, only 1.5 times make rating can be obtained. For more severe or larger make ratings of up to 10 times rated current, see IC2800Y105 and Y106, page 5-10.

Order interlocks either factory-mounted or separately supplied depending upon anticipated use. If applications are known in advance, factory-mounted interlocks can be ordered. If exibility in application is desired, order interlocks and mounting kits separately and mount as needed. Select voltage range depending on application. Mechanical interlocksMechanical interlocks between two contactors allows only one contactor to close. See page 5-5.

WHERE TO USE
Use for general dc industrial control such as machine-tool control, textile-machinery control and similar applications. Contactors have a steel base insulated from the electrical circuits. They can be mounted on either metal or insulating panels. The 25 and 50 amp NO contactors above are to be used where exact replacement of the obsolete line of contactors is required. The contactor uses a non-asbestos arc chute and will provide make/interrupt ratings of 4 times the 8-hour rating of the NO pole. No other pole congurations are available. See DS303, page 5-2.

WHERE TO USE
Use for crane, metal-rolling mill and all other heavy industry dc control. Contactors are available mounted or unmounted in either front- or back-connected forms. Use unit-mounted, front-connected form for mounting on metal or insulating panels. Use unmounted back-connected form for assembly directly on your own insulating panel. Select sizes according to motor horsepower and time rating. Use forms with blowout rating for dc power interruption. Time rating of normally closed contactorsCoils of contactors with normally closed poles are for intermittent duty only. The coils can be energized 30 percent of the time but not more than 10 minutes continuously or 20 minutes continuously if only once out of three hours time. For continuous operation refer to company.

IC2800C300
WHERE TO USE
For use in 1000-volt dc circuits such as are found in oil well drilling, material handling, crane control, uninterruptible power supplies, and transportation equipment. These contactors are used in equipments where it is desired to reduce current ratings by going to higher voltages. These contactors are specially designed for applications with low make and interrupting requirements, without jogging. Select contactors ratings on basis of dc current carrying capacities and interlock requirements.
Fig. 14. IC2800C300A Fig. 15. IC2800C300E with manual latch mechanism

Overcurrent power circuit. A special form (C300C) is available with an overcurrent power circuit to prevent the contactor from opening under a heavy overload current in excess of the designed interruption rating. Manual Latch. The C300E form utilizes a manual operator to close and latch the power contacts if control power is not available to operate the coil. This will eliminate the need for the addition of a knife switch where applicable codes or standards require manual operation in the event of loss of control power or coil failure.

Normally Closed Used to short-out resistance steps in starting dc motors. Contactors are normally closed, without blowouts, and are not designed to interrupt power. Pick-up is instantaneous. Time-delay dropout results from use of a copper-jacketed coil and adjustment of this time delay is obtained by using a non-magnetic armature shim. Time delay of IC2800A501 contactors can be adjusted over a narrow range by the armature spring. Time delay of IC2800Y109 contactor can be adjusted over a wide range by a sliding shim. Mount contactors on either metal or insulating panels. Make connections from the front. Enclosed rating0.9 times the 8-hour, open-ampere rating of the contactor.

5-14 Field Contactors

IC2812B107, B207, MOTOR FIELD CONTACTORS

DESCRIPTION
The synchronous-motor eld contactor is available in ratings, from 100 to 265 amps. The eld contactor has two normally open poles for applying and removing eld excitation and one normally closed pole for inserting resistance in the eld for discharge. These extremely fast-acting contactors are designed specically for synchronous-motor applications. The normally open and closed poles have the correct amount of overlap to assure against the build-up of high induced voltages in the motor eld when excitation is removed. The eld contactors are of the heavy-duty, clapper-type design for industrial use. The contactors have proved in the eld that they give long life under all conditions of operation and service. The correct amount of wipe keeps the contact tips clean which provides positive electrical contact when the poles are closed. Blowout coils are connected to each pole to quickly extinguish the arc within the arc chute. Arc chutes are non-asbestos and can easily be removed to inspect contact tips.

Exciter/Generator Field Controller 5-15

IC2812, B307, B407, B507

DESCRIPTION
The IC2812 eld controllers are for the application and removal of dc power from an exciter or generator eld circuit. The controller consists of two Normally Open (NO) power circuits and one Normally Closed (NC) power circuit and associated control and protective relaying. The 2 NO contacts apply dc power to the machine eld. The NC contact inserts a resistor in the eld circuit to discharge the energy when the eld power circuit is opened. The contacts are arranged in a make-before break conguration. The contactor is mechanically latched when closed, and can be electrically or mechanically tripped.

Determine the Amperes of the Field at Full Load (AFFL) rating. This AFFL rating should be on the nameplate of the machine (exciter or generator) on which the eld breaker is to be used. This AFFL rating determines which contator is applicable.

CONSTRUCTION
The controller is a non-drawout type, with a padlock feature to lock the contactor in the open position. The 900 amp and 2500 amp controllers are incorporated into an angle iron frame assembly with front cover which is designed for mounting inside a cubicle. The 265 amp assembly is based

mounted. These controllers include auxiliary relays for remote functions, an antipump circuit and close and trip push-buttons mounted on the front cover. The anti-pump circuit ensures that the contactor operates only once during the close operation. A total of 11 auxiliary circuits are available for interlocking. All devices are wired to a common terminal board.

WHERE TO USE
Use for general-purpose relaying, undervoltage protection, plugging, and similar applications. Relays are available with either shunt or series coils. They can be mounted on either steel or insulating panels. Choose general-duty relays for normal service or where space is limited. Select heavy-duty relays for severe service or when more than four circuits are required. Latched-in relays are used for overvoltage or overcurrent protection. Note that relays for control of circuits 48 volts and below have contacts designed especially for this voltage. Complete relays are recommended when applications are known in advance. Building-block units are recommended when applications vary in number of circuits and contact arrangements. Contacts can be changed from normally open to normally closed and vice versa, except that general-duty relays should not exceed two normally closed contacts. To assure proper clearance on NO-NC combination, locate NC contact on bottom.

IC2820D300
WHERE TO USE
Use to protect dc shunt or compoundwound motors against loss of eld excitation. The coil of the relay is connected in series with the motor eld. When excitation is lost, the relay drops out and opens the motor line contactor. Select relay so that continuous rating will not be exceeded by the rated eld current and the relay calibration range permits pick-up to be set below minimum eld current. Relay will not protect against overspeed due to weak eld unless the eld current decreases below the relay dropout setting.

HOW TO ORDER
Order by complete IC number. EXAMPLE: IC2820D300A2.

IC2820A102
DESCRIPTION
GROUND-FAULT RELAY

The IC2820A102 is a fast-acting hand-reset relay designed to interrupt control power of a line contactor on sensing a ground current in the lines to an ac motor load or other ac equipment. If a ground fault can be removed within a few cycles of its initiation, damage to a motor or other ac equipment can be minimized. For example, on a large induction or synchronous motor when an insulation failure occurs to ground, the fault current will be removed before damage is done to the laminations, thus making it possible to repair the motor at a minimum of expense and downtime. As shown in the elementary diagram, the relay is designed for use with a window-type current transformer* where the three load leads (for a 3-phase system) are placed through the window. When a ground fault occurs, the vector sum of the currents in the load cables will not equal zero and this sum will cause a current in the secondary of the current transformer that will energize the relay coil. This current will actuate the relay to TRIP, opening the normally closed contacts, and closing the normally open

contacts shorting out the rectier and coil. The trip lever holds the relay in this position until the lever is moved in a counterclockwise direction to the RESET position. The photo shows the reset lever in the TRIP position and also the rectier and resistor mounted on the relay.
DIFFERENTIAL RELAY

The IC2820A102A differential relay detects any difference in current going in and out of each phase of a wye-connected motor. The current difference will trip the differential relay and shut down the motor by opening the motor-line contactor. As shown in the elementary diagram (Fig. 50), separate relays and window-type current transformers* are connected in each phase of the motor.
*The IC2820A102 ground-fault and differential relay is specically designed to be used with GE transformer types JCS-0 (50:5, 100:5), JAH-0 (300:5, 400:5) and JCH-0 (300:5) (Transformer must be ordered separately.) DO NOT apply with other transformers. Fig. 47. IC2820A102 relay

IC2820C100
DESCRIPTION
The IC2820C100L (FR) eld-applying relay working in conjunction with auxiliary relay IC2820C100B (FRX) provides time delay for closing the eld contactor when the proper dc voltage is available to pull the machine into step. Sliding bi-metal shims, by which the air gap may be changed, provides for adjustment of the time dropout. The relay is designed for mounting on steel or insulated bases and uses the IC2956 universal interlock for its contacts.
