Overview

The ABB AF16-30-22-13 is a 3-pole contactor engineered for reliable control of power circuits up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC. Designed primarily for 3-phase motors and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, this contactor delivers robust performance in industrial applications. Its electronic coil interface accepts a wide control voltage range from 24 to 500 V AC (50/60 Hz) or 20 to 500 V DC, enabling a single coil to support global voltage standards without replacement. This feature streamlines inventory management and simplifies installation across international projects. The AF16-30-22-13 features a block-type design with 3 main poles and a non-removable front-mounted auxiliary contact block providing 2 Normally Open (N.O.) and 2 Normally Closed (N.C.) contacts. Side-mounted add-on auxiliary contact blocks are available for expanded functionality, including mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts compliant with IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L and N.C. mirror contacts compliant with IEC 60947-4-1 Annex F. Built-in surge protection eliminates the need for external suppressors, reducing system complexity and cost while ensuring compliance with industrial standards. With a general use rating of 30 A at 600 V AC and an operational current of 30 A at 0–40°C (AC-1), the AF16-30-22-13 is suitable for heavy-duty applications. The control circuit operates on AC or DC power, offering flexibility in power supply configurations. A comprehensive range of accessories is available to customize functionality further. Manufactured by ABB - Electrification in the US, this contactor meets stringent industrial requirements for reliability and performance.
