Overview

The ABB Electrification AF400-30-11-70 is a high-performance 3-phase contactor engineered for critical industrial applications requiring reliable motor starting, isolation, by-pass operations, and distribution up to 1000 V AC or 600 V DC. This contactor is designed for demanding environments where operational stability and long-term durability are essential. With a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V (IEC 60947-4-1) and 600 V (UL/CSA), it meets stringent safety standards for high-voltage industrial systems. The AF400-30-11-70 features a wide control voltage range of 100–250 V AC/DC, making it compatible with diverse control systems without requiring additional voltage conversion. Its robust magnet system supports both AC and DC operation, with pull-in and holding power ratings of 955 VA (AC) / 895 W (DC) and 12 VA (AC) / 5 W (DC) respectively, ensuring efficient energy consumption during operation. The contactor delivers fast response times, with coil energization to contact close within 50–120 ms and de-energization to contact open within 33–70 ms, critical for applications requiring precise timing. With a mechanical durability of 3 million cycles and contact replacement every 0.75 million cycles, the AF400-30-11-70 is built for high-frequency switching up to 300 cycles/hour, reducing maintenance downtime. It operates reliably across an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +70°C (without overload relay) or -25°C to +70°C (with overload relay), ensuring performance in extreme conditions. Additional features include voltage sag immunity per SEMI F47 (on request) and the ability to withstand dips ≥20 ms, enhancing system resilience against power fluctuations. Certified to pollution degree 3 and with a rated impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV, the contactor is suitable for harsh industrial environments. Distributed by Gross Automation, the AF400-30-11-70 is ideal for motor control centers, power distribution systems, and industrial automation where reliability and compliance with international standards are non-negotiable.
