ABB DO820

Product Brief:​ The DO820 is an S800 I/O relay output module with eight independent SPST-NO (Form A) electromechanical relays for switching AC or DC loads up to 250 V AC / 110 V DC at 3 A resistive. It is the higher-current sibling of DO802 (which is 2 A). Used for switching power to motors, heaters, alarms, or any load beyond solid-state rating.

  • Functional Features / Application / Material / Structure / Working Principle / Installation / Precautions:​ Same principles as DO802 — main differences: 3 A rating (vs 2 A), slightly higher coil power draw, same independent isolation per channel.
    • Extra Precaution:​ 3 A resistive rating — for motor / lamp loads apply appropriate de-rating (motors: 3× inrush; tungsten lamps: 10–15× inrush). Use contact-protected version or interposing SSR/contactor for high inrush.
    • Relay replacement interval should follow electrical life estimate based on actual switching frequency and load type.
