The ABB AF26Z-30-22-23 is a 3-pole, block-type contactor designed for reliable switching of 3-phase motors and non-inductive/slightly inductive loads up to 690V AC and 220V DC. Rated for 15 hp at 480V, it delivers 45A general use current and 11kW rated operational power at 400V AC-3. The AF26Z series features an electronic coil interface accepting control voltages from 100 to 250V 50/60Hz or 100 to 250V DC, eliminating the need for coil changes across global voltage standards. A single coil configuration supports multiple control voltages, reducing inventory complexity and operational costs. Built for industrial reliability, the AF26Z-30-22-23 withstands voltage dips and sags per SEMI F47-0706 standards, ensuring stable operation in power-quality-challenged environments. Integrated surge protection eliminates the need for external suppressors, simplifying installation and reducing component count. The contactor includes a non-removable front-mounted auxiliary contact block with 2 normally open (N.O.) and 2 normally closed (N.C.) contacts, plus side-mounted add-on blocks for expanded functionality. Mechanically linked auxiliary contacts comply with IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L, while N.C. mirror contacts meet IEC 60947-4-1 Annex F requirements for safety and monitoring. Direct PLC control is supported via 24V DC outputs at 500mA, with reduced holding coil consumption for energy efficiency. The AF26Z series is part of ABB’s Electrification portfolio, offering a weight of 0.400 kg per unit and compatibility with a wide range of accessories for enhanced flexibility. Ideal for motor control in HVAC systems, pumps, conveyors, and industrial machinery, the AF26Z-30-22-23 combines global voltage compatibility, robust design, and compliance with international standards (IEC, UL, CSA) for seamless integration into diverse applications.
