Overview

The ABB AF30Z-30-00K-21 is a 3-pole contactor designed for precise control of power circuits up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC. This unit is primarily utilized for managing 3-phase motors and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads in industrial settings. The AF..Z series contactors feature an electronic coil interface that accommodates a broad control voltage range, from a minimum of 24 V to a maximum of 250 V (50/60 Hz AC or DC), or 12 V to 250 V DC. This wide voltage compatibility means a single coil can serve various global control voltages, simplifying inventory and installation. Direct control by PLC outputs (≥ 24 V DC, 500 mA) is supported, offering reduced holding coil consumption for improved energy efficiency. The AF30Z-30-00K-21 is engineered to withstand short voltage dips and sags, complying with SEMI F47-0706 standards for control voltages between 24-250 V. Integrated surge protection eliminates the need for external surge suppressors, streamlining panel design. A key feature of the AF30Z-30-00K-21 is its Push-in Spring terminals, enabling extremely fast and reliable connections with a simple push, significantly reducing wiring time and effort. This block-type contactor includes 3 main poles. Front and side-mounted add-on auxiliary contact blocks are available for expanded functionality. Mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts meet IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L, and N.C. mirror contacts comply with IEC 60947-4-1 Annex F.
