4. Werkingsprincipes
The Idec BS-001 is a Normally Closed (NC) contact block. This means that in its default, unactuated state, the electrical circuit through the contact block is closed, allowing current to flow. When actuated (e.g., by pressing a pushbutton or activating a switch operator), the contact opens, breaking the circuit.
- Normaal gesloten (NC): Circuit is closed when the contact is at rest.
- Bediening: When the associated operator is activated, the contact opens.
- Beoordelingen: Rated for A 600 and P 600, indicating its suitability for specific voltage en actuele toepassingen.
