Overview
The Allen-Bradley 599-P01A power pole adder is a Bulletin 500 accessory designed to expand the contact capability of NEMA size 0 and size 1 contactors and motor starters. This field-installed component provides 1 normally open contact, fits size 0 and 1 500 Line except 500L and FL, has a maximum voltage rating of 600V, and a maximum current rating of 27A. It is commonly used in industrial motor control systems where additional pole capacity is required for complex switching logic.
