The ABB EHDBCK280-2 is a 2-pole normally open contact kit designed specifically for the EHDB280 dynamic braking DC drive contactor. It carries a contact rating of 300 V and belongs to the A-Line accessory family. This is the spare or replacement set of main contacts — if the EHDB280 contactor in your DC braking circuit has pitted or welded contacts, this kit is what you swap in without replacing the entire contactor assembly.
Field-service note
On-site swap: the EHDB280 contactor lives inside the dynamic braking circuit of a DC drive cabinet. Before pulling the contact kit, verify the DC-link capacitors have discharged — the braking circuit can hold lethal voltage even with main power off. The two pole NO configuration means both sets of contacts open together; check for free movement of the contact carrier after installation. No special tools beyond a screwdriver and torque wrench for the main terminal bolts.
