ABB AF30-30-00-13 Contactor

The ABB AF30-30-00-13 Contactor is a high-performance 3-pole IEC contactor engineered for industrial motor control and power circuit switching. Utilizing advanced AF technology, this unit features an electronic coil interface that accepts a wide control voltage range of 100-250V AC/DC, allowing for consistent operation across unstable networks without the need for additional surge suppressors. This specific model provides a reliable solution for 3-phase motor control, rated for up to 20 hp at 480V (UL) or 15 kW at 400V (AC-3), with a general use rating of 30 Amps and a maximum thermal current of 50 Amps. Designed for efficiency, the AF30-30-00-13 reduces panel energy consumption and ensures distinct closing and opening operations. It serves as the direct replacement for 024-31818-000 and is built with screw terminals for secure electrical connections in demanding HVACR and industrial environments. Its block-type design supports easy expansion with front or side-mounted auxiliary contact blocks.

Key Benefits

• Universal Control Voltage: The 100-250V AC/DC coil manages large voltage variations, ensuring reliability in regions with fluctuating power.
• Built-in Surge Protection: Integrated suppression eliminates the need for external surge blocks, saving space and reducing installation complexity.
• High Compatibility: This 30 Amp contactor is a drop-in replacement for the 024-31818-000, ideal for servicing legacy HVAC systems.
• Reduced Power Consumption: The electronically controlled coil minimizes holding current, lowering heat dissipation within the control cabinet.
• Durable Construction: Rated for a maximum of 600V UL/690V IEC, providing a robust interface for inductive and non-inductive loads.

Common Questions

Is the AF30-30-00-13 compatible with both AC and DC control circuits?
Yes, the internal electronic interface allows the coil to operate on any voltage between 100V and 250V for both AC (50/60 Hz) and DC supplies.

Does this contactor include auxiliary contacts?
The standard AF30-30-00-13 is a 3-pole unit without built-in auxiliary contacts. However, it can be easily customized with front or side-mounted auxiliary blocks if your circuit requires feedback signals.

Can I use this to replace a standard NEMA-rated contactor?
While this is an IEC magnetic contactor, it is UL listed and suitable for many NEMA applications, provided the amperage and horsepower ratings meet your specific requirements.
