Overview

The ABB AF26Z-30-00-21 is a 3-pole, block-type contactor designed for controlling power circuits up to 690V AC and 220V DC. This model is optimized for 3-phase motor control and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, delivering reliable performance in industrial applications. The AF26Z series features an electronic coil interface that accepts a wide control voltage range from 24V to 250V AC (50/60Hz) or 12V to 250V DC, with just four coils covering all common global voltages. This eliminates the need for coil changes when operating across different regions, reducing inventory complexity and downtime. The AF26Z-30-00-21 supports direct control by PLC outputs ≥24V DC at 500mA, reducing holding coil consumption for energy efficiency. Built to withstand short voltage dips and sags, it complies with SEMI F47-0706 standards for control voltages between 24V and 250V AC (50/60Hz). Integrated surge protection eliminates the need for external surge suppressors, simplifying installation and reducing component count. This 1-stack contactor features three main poles and is compatible with front and side-mounted add-on auxiliary contact blocks. Mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts comply with Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1, while N.C. mirror contacts meet Annex F of IEC 60947-4-1 for enhanced safety and reliability. The control circuit operates on AC or DC, offering flexibility for diverse industrial environments. A comprehensive range of accessories is available to customize functionality. Key specifications include a general use rating of 45A at 600V AC, a rated operational current of 45A (≤40°C, AC-1), and compatibility with 3-phase motors rated up to 15 hp at 480V. The AF26Z-30-00-21 is part of the AF..Z series, which is designed for durability and ease of integration into existing systems. With a compact design and robust construction, it is ideal for applications in manufacturing, automation, and process industries where reliable motor control is critical.
