 Coil Control
• 100-D contactors have a variety of coil control
options including:
– Conventional coils
• AC & DC
• 95..180A
– Electronic coils with EI electronic interface
• AC & DC
• 95..860A
• 100-B contactors use conventional coils on all
sizes
– Conventional coils
• AC: 110..600A
• DC: 110..180A
14
 Conventional Coils
• Conventional coils provide specific more voltages for AC
(50, 60 and 50/60Hz) and DC
• Conventional coils can provide a more cost effective solution
• Traditional in-rush and seal current characteristics
– AC: High in-rush on pick-up and reduced at seal
– DC: Steady state coil consumption for pickup & seal

AC Coils 100-D95…100-D180

DC Coils
