Product Overview
The ABB AF400-30 is a high-performance three-phase contactor engineered for critical industrial applications requiring reliable motor control, isolation, and power distribution. As a core component of ABB’s AF Series industrial control solutions, the ABB AF400-30 delivers robust switching capabilities for motors up to 200 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3 duty) and power circuits up to 600 A (AC-1 duty). Its wide control voltage range (100–250 V AC/DC) ensures compatibility with diverse global power systems, while the built-in surge protection safeguards against voltage fluctuations in unstable networks210.
Key features include a block-type modular design that supports easy expansion with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and accessories, enabling flexible configuration for motor control centers (MCCs) and automation systems. The ABB AF400-30 is rated for IP20 protection against dust and accidental contact, with -40°C to +70°C operating temperature resilience for harsh environments. Its screw-terminal connections and DIN rail mounting simplify installation, while the 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary contacts provide status feedback for PLC integration810.
The ABB AF400-30 is certified to IEC 60947-4-1 and UL 508 standards, ensuring compliance with industrial safety requirements. Its 3 million mechanical durability cycles and hot-swappable design minimize downtime, making it ideal for continuous-operation applications in manufacturing, oil & gas, and power generation. The contactor’s electronic coil interface accepts both AC and DC control voltages, reducing inventory complexity by eliminating the need for separate coil types210.
