Information About 100-FSC280

The Allen-Bradley 100-FSC280 Surge Suppressor is a reliable RC module designed to protect electronic equipment from voltage surges and transients. With an operational range of 110-280V AC, it provides robust protection for sensitive components in industrial applications.

Featuring advanced surge suppression technology, the 100-FSC280 efficiently absorbs and dissipates transient voltage spikes, safeguarding connected equipment against potential damage. The RC module's design ensures a quick response to surges, diverting excess energy away from critical systems.

This surge suppressor is suitable for various industrial environments where electrical disturbances are common. Its wide voltage range allows flexibility in application, accommodating different voltage levels encountered in industrial power systems.

Installation is simplified with the compact and DIN-rail mountable design of the 100-FSC280. The module seamlessly integrates into control panels and electrical enclosures, providing an effective and space-efficient solution for surge protection.

The Allen-Bradley Surge Suppressor reflects the brand's commitment to quality and reliability. It is a critical component in ensuring the longevity and uninterrupted operation of industrial automation systems, safeguarding investments and minimizing downtime caused by voltage-related issues. With the 100-FSC280, Allen-Bradley delivers a robust surge suppression solution tailored to the demands of industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about 100-FSC280
Question: What is the function of the 100-FSC280?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

The 100-FSC280 is a surge suppressor module used to protect the coil circuit of a contactor from voltage spikes (transients) generated during switching. It helps:

  • Protect control circuit components
  • Prevent coil voltage fluctuations
  • Improve contactor lifespan and system reliability
Question: What contactors is the 100-FSC280 compatible with?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

It is compatible with Allen-Bradley 100-C series contactors, particularly:

  • Miniature and IEC contactors
  • Typically mounted on 100-C09 to 100-C37 contactor models

Check your specific contactor’s coil voltage — this module is designed for 280V AC coils.

Question: How is the 100-FSC280 installed?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:
  • Clips or snaps directly into a dedicated slot on the top of the contactor
  • No tools required
  • Must be matched to the coil voltage rating of the contactor

Once installed, it connects across the contactor’s coil terminals internally.

Question: Why is surge suppression important in contactor-controlled circuits?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

When the coil of a contactor is de-energized, the collapsing magnetic field can generate voltage spikes or transient overvoltages. These transients can:

  • Damage sensitive electronics in PLC inputs, timers, or HMIs
  • Cause false triggering in nearby low-voltage circuits
  • Shorten the lifespan of relay contacts or signal cables
  • Create electromagnetic interference (EMI) that disrupts communication systems

The 100-FSC280 acts as a protective shunt across the coil terminals, absorbing or redirecting these high-frequency spikes, thereby maintaining system integrity and electrical noise immunity.

Question: Can I use the 100-FSC280 with DC coil contactors?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

No. The 100-FSC280 is designed specifically for AC coil contactors, likely up to 280V AC. Using it on a DC coil may:

  • Cause ineffective suppression
  • Lead to module overheating or failure
  • Violate safety and warranty requirements

For DC applications, use a diode-based suppression module (such as 100-FSD… series) that matches the coil's DC voltage and switching characteristics.
