Overview

The ABB CR463L30AJA is a 30A electrically held contactor designed for reliable switching in lighting, HVAC, and industrial control systems. This 2-12 pole unit offers 74 distinct circuit combinations, achievable through its versatile single or double-pole power poles. Poles can be easily reconfigured from Normally Open (NO) to Normally Closed (NC) by unlatching and rotating them 180°, simplifying setup and reducing inventory needs. The CR463L30AJA features convenient side-access field power wiring for straightforward installation. Contact position indication is provided by a protruding button, offering clear visual confirmation of contact status. Rated for 30A resistive loads, 15A motor duty, and A600 pilot duty, this contactor effectively manages a range of electrical tasks. Auxiliary contacts, also rated A600, are suitable for low-level circuits down to 12V at 5mA. Plug-in auxiliary contacts offer NO configuration on the left side of the base and NC on the right. Operator safety is enhanced by finger and back-of-hand safe power terminals. Combination slotted/#2 Phillips screws are standard for easy tooling compatibility. The universal base supports all pole configurations, and a fast, sure three-point mounting system ensures secure installation in enclosures. Coil voltage is easily identifiable via quick-view labels, and the easy-change coil design minimizes downtime for maintenance or adjustments. Low magnetic noise operation contributes to a quieter work environment. This contactor is suitable for NEMA Type 4/4X and Type 12/3R enclosures, making it ideal for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and outdoor applications requiring IP protection. Robust pole terminals accept up to two #8 AWG wires per terminal, accommodating substantial wire gauges for high-current applications. A manual operator is included for local control. Standard assembled forms are available, reducing the need for custom configurations. The CR463L30AJA's flexibility with 74 possible circuit combinations and field-reconfigurable poles maximizes application versatility and streamlines inventory management.
