The Schneider CAD32BL is a high-performance electric control relay from the TeSys CAD series, designed to facilitate control circuit applications within a diverse range of industrial settings. This robust component is engineered to operate with a system voltage of up to 690 V AC at frequencies ranging from 25 to 400 Hz, making it a versatile choice for various electrical control systems.
With a pole contact composition of 3 NO (Normally Open) + 2 NC (Normally Closed), the CAD32BL offers flexibility in circuit design and ensures reliable switching for control tasks. The control relay is equipped with a DC low consumption coil, requiring a control circuit voltage of 24 V DC, which contributes to energy efficiency in operations.
The CAD32BL boasts an impressive rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV conforming to IEC 60947 standards, and a conventional free air thermal current of 10 A at temperatures up to 60°C. Its rated making capacity is capable of handling 140 A AC and 250 A DC, in accordance with IEC 60947-5-1, ensuring it can cope with high inrush currents.
Mounting is made easy with support for both plate and rail installations, and the relay features screw clamp terminals that accommodate a range of cable sizes, providing a secure and reliable connection. The tightening torque specifications ensure a robust fit, minimising the risk of loose connections over time.
The CAD32BL is designed with durability in mind, with a mechanical endurance of 30 million cycles and an operating rate of 180 cycles per minute, highlighting its capability to withstand the demands of frequent operation. The relay's compact dimensions of 45 x 93 x 77 mm and a weight of 0.58 kg make it suitable for installations where space is at a premium.
In terms of environmental resilience, the CAD32BL can operate in a wide temperature range from -40 to 70°C and is rated for use at altitudes up to 3000 metres without derating in temperature, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging conditions.
The CAD32BL is a testament to Schneider Electric's commitment to quality and sustainability, as it is part of the Green Premium product line, which ensures compliance with the latest environmental standards and regulations. This control relay is an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable and eco-conscious solution for their industrial control needs.
