What is the ABB AF12-30-01-11 contactor used for?
The ABB AF12-30-01-11 is a 3-pole contactor designed for controlling motors up to 5.5 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3 duty) or 7.5 hp at 480 V UL. It can switch power circuits up to 28 A (AC-1) and is suitable for general industrial motor and load control applications.
What is the coil voltage range for the AF12-30-01-11 contactor?
This model features a wide-range AF coil operating at 24–60 V AC 50/60 Hz and 20–60 V DC, enabling reliable operation under unstable supply conditions and reducing control power consumption.
What are the main contact and auxiliary contact configurations?
The AF12-30-01-11 has three normally open (3 NO) main contacts and one normally closed (1 NC) auxiliary contact built in. Additional auxiliary blocks can be added if required.
Which standards and certifications does the ABB AF12-30-01-11 comply with?
It meets IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1 standards, ensuring global compliance for industrial and HVAC applications.
What are the rated operational voltages and currents?
The contactor is rated for up to 690 V AC (IEC) or 600 V UL with a thermal current Ith of 35 A. Rated AC-3 operational current is 12 A at 400 V and AC-1 current is 28 A at 690 V.
What is the rated control and short-time withstand performance?
It can handle 150 A for 10 s and 300 A for 1 s in free air. The control circuit operates between 20 and 60 V DC or 24–60 V AC, with built-in surge suppression for coil protection.
How can the AF12-30-01-11 be mounted and wired?
It supports DIN rail (TH35) or screw (M4) mounting. Terminals accept flexible or solid conductors up to 6 mm² for main circuits and 2.5 mm² for control or auxiliary circuits, with IP20 finger-safe protection.
What are the typical applications for this contactor?
The AF12-30-01-11 is used in motor starters, HVAC units, control panels, and automation systems. Its wide coil range and built-in surge protection make it ideal for industrial environments.
Where can the ABB AF12-30-01-11 be purchased in India?
It is available through Shansen Enterprises, an authorized ABB channel partner offering genuine products, pan-India delivery, and quick WhatsApp quotes.
