Overview

The ABB AF30Z-30-00-21 is a 3-pole, block-type contactor designed for industrial power circuit control up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC. Rated for 50 A AC-1 and 15 kW AC-3 at 400 V, this contactor is optimized for 3-phase motor control up to 20 hp at 480 V, as well as non-inductive or slightly inductive loads. The AF30Z series features an electronic coil interface with a wide control voltage range of 24...250 V AC/DC (50/60 Hz) or 12...250 V DC, allowing a single coil to operate across global voltage standards without replacement. This eliminates downtime for coil changes and simplifies inventory management. Direct PLC control is supported via outputs ≥ 24 V DC at 500 mA, with reduced holding coil consumption for energy efficiency. The contactor complies with SEMI F47-0706 standards, ensuring reliable operation during short voltage dips and sags within the specified range. Built-in surge protection removes the need for external suppressors, reducing system complexity and cost. The AF30Z-30-00-21 includes 3 main poles and supports front or side-mounted auxiliary contact blocks for expanded functionality. Mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts meet Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1, while N.C. mirror contacts comply with Annex F of IEC 60947-4-1 for enhanced safety and monitoring. The block-type design ensures compact installation and compatibility with a wide range of accessories for customization. Ideal for industrial automation, motor control centers, and heavy-duty applications, the AF30Z-30-00-21 delivers reliable performance in harsh environments. Its compliance with IEC and UL/CSA standards ensures global applicability. SKU: AF30Z-30-00-21. Manufacturer: ABB - Electrification.
