Rockwell Automation’s Bulletin 156-C Solid-state Contactors are an excellent addition to their lineup of solid-state solutions, complementing the Bulletin 700 solid-state relays. These contactors are specifically designed without moving parts or contacts that can wear out, offering significant advantages in terms of maintenance, part replacement costs, and downtime reduction. The compact modular design of the Bulletin 156-C Solid-state Contactors, along with the integrated heatsink, allows for efficient thermal management. This design facilitates easy panel or DIN Rail mounting, providing flexibility in installation options.
Installing the contactors is a straightforward process, and their modular nature simplifies the overall setup. This feature ensures a hassle-free installation experience for users. The Bulletin 156-C Solid-state Contactors are available in single-phase, dual-phase, or three-phase versions, catering to various application requirements. This flexibility allows for compatibility with different types of electrical systems. These contactors offer lighted status indication, providing visual feedback on their operational status. This feature assists in monitoring the system and quickly identifying any potential issues.
Rockwell Automation offers AC, DC, and analog control options for the Bulletin 156-C Solid-state Contactors, enabling compatibility with different control signal types. This versatility allows integration into a wide range of control systems. The contactors feature zero-cross switching, which helps minimize the impact on the electrical system during switching operations. This reduces potential voltage transients and ensures smooth and reliable operation. To protect against surges and voltage spikes, the Bulletin 156-C Solid-state Contactors are equipped with an integrated varistor. This surge protection feature safeguards the contactors and the connected equipment from damage caused by voltage fluctuations.
