Overview

The ABB AF40-30-00-12 is a 3-pole, block-type contactor designed for controlling power circuits up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC. Primarily utilized for 3-phase motor control and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, this unit offers a 400 V AC-3 operational power rating of 18.5 kW and a 70 A AC-1 rating at 40°C. Its electronic coil interface accepts a broad control voltage range, with this specific model covering 24-60 V AC/DC. This universal coil design simplifies inventory and global deployment, as a single coil can manage various control voltages without replacement, while also handling significant voltage variations and reducing panel energy consumption. Key features include built-in surge suppression, eliminating the need for external surge suppressors. The AF40-30-00-12 is designed for expandability with add-on auxiliary contact blocks, available for front and side mounting. Mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts comply with IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L, and N.C. mirror contacts meet IEC 60947-4-1 Annex F. This model comes with 3 main poles and no pre-fitted auxiliary contacts ('-00' in the order code), allowing for custom configurations. A comprehensive range of accessories is available. SKU: AF40-30-00-12. Manufacturer: ABB - Electrification. Country of Origin: US. UNSPSC Code: 39121529.
