Why Choose the ABB UA26-30-10-86 Capacitor Contactor?
The ABB UA26-30-10-86, product ID 1SBL241022R8610, is a 3-pole capacitor switching contactor designed for controlling capacitor banks in industrial power factor correction systems. As part of the ABB UA contactor range, it is specifically designed for capacitor switching applications where inrush current peaks are less than or equal to 100 times the nominal RMS current.
The UA26-30-10-86 features three main poles and one built-in normally open auxiliary contact. Under AC-6b duty, it is rated for capacitor banks up to 20 kvar at 400–415 V at an ambient temperature of 40 °C. The capacitors must be discharged to a residual terminal voltage of no more than 50 V before being re-energised.
Its AC-operated laminated magnet circuit uses a 400–415 V AC coil at 50 Hz or 415–440 V AC at 60 Hz. The block-type construction, screw terminals and compact 90 × 54 × 93.6 mm dimensions make the UA26-30-10-86 suitable for installation within power factor correction panels and other industrial capacitor switching assemblies.

Reliable Switching for Capacitor Banks
Capacitor switching places demanding electrical stresses on contactors because energising a capacitor bank can produce high transient inrush currents. The ABB UA26-30-10-86 is specifically designed for switching capacitor banks where the peak inrush current does not exceed 100 times the nominal RMS current, providing a dedicated solution for industrial power factor correction systems.
When used under the specified operating conditions, the capacitors must be discharged before they are re-energised, with a maximum residual voltage of 50 V at their terminals. Under these conditions, the UA26-30-10-86 is designed for an electrical durability of 100,000 operating cycles.
Typical Applications
- Industrial power factor correction systems.
- Automatic capacitor bank panels.
- Reactive power compensation equipment.
- Industrial electrical distribution systems.
- Power factor correction cabinets.
- Machinery and installations requiring switched capacitor banks.
