Overview

The ABB AF40-30-22-12 is a 3-pole block-type contactor designed for robust control of power circuits up to 1000 V AC and 220 V DC, with a specific focus on 3-phase motors up to 30 kW (at 400 V AC, AC-3 rating). This model, SKU AF40-30-22-12, features an electronic coil interface that accepts a broad control voltage range, covering 24...500 V AC (50/60 Hz) and 20...500 V DC with only four coil types. This wide voltage acceptance simplifies inventory and allows for global application without coil changes, while also managing significant control voltage variations and short voltage dips/sags (SEMI F47-0706 conditions available on request). Key features include built-in surge suppression, eliminating the need for external surge suppressors and reducing panel complexity. The contactor comes with a non-removable front-mounted 2 N.O. + 2 N.C. auxiliary contact block, with provisions for side-mounted add-on auxiliary contact blocks. It supports mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts compliant with IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L and N.C. mirror contacts compliant with IEC 60947-4-1 Annex F, ensuring operational safety and reliability. The distinct closing and opening operation contributes to reduced panel energy consumption. Manufactured in the US, the AF40-30-22-12 is certified to IEC, UL, and CSA standards, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications including motor control, HVAC systems, and general power switching. Its block-type design facilitates straightforward installation and maintenance.
