ABB AF Contactor Range

ABB contactor range can be used to control power circuits up to a level of 690 V AC and 220 V DC. The main benefit of ABB's range of AF products are that only a few coils are needed for different control voltages used in many applications without having to change the coil.

These four coil voltages run from between 24...500 V 50/60 Hz or 20...500 V DC. These are AC/DC dual rated which cover a range of amperages rather than set specifications. ABB's AF contactors have built in surge protection and do not require any other surge suppressors.

Accessories are available in the form of front and side mounted auxiliary contact blocks plus being designed as a 1 stack 3 pole block type contactor they can have a one main auxiliary contact. Replacement parts are available as well as other accessories.
