Product Overview
The ABB AF30-30-00-13 is a three-pole IEC contactor designed for controlling three-phase motors and switching electrical power circuits.
It incorporates ABB’s electronically controlled AF coil, which operates from 100–250 VAC at 50/60 Hz or 100–250 VDC. The wide control-voltage range reduces the number of coil variants required onboard and provides reliable operation during voltage fluctuations.
