The latest range of ABB’s contactors establishes a new industry benchmark. The electronically controlled coil offers multiple benefits over conventional alternatives, and together with ABB’s wide product offering – an optimal configuration, every time.
The AF contactor range covers small motor starting solutions from 4kW up to big power switching solutions with our unique AF2650, the biggest single case block contactor in the world. The contactor and motor protection range are part of one of the widest product offerings on the market meaning that ABB not only can provide the contactor but the full solution. In addition to the standard product range ABB also offer products for special needs such as Bar contactors, GAF and contactors for capacitor switching.
The contactor and motor protection range from ABB is compatible with all major national and international standards and is available in NZ through the wholesale network. The core coil of the AF contactor range covers 100-250VACDC, 50 / 60 Hz.
The AF contactor range is perfect for motor starting applications and for solutions where space is limited. You can create any motor starting type and save assembly time with a complete range of accessories and connection sets. With its contactor and motor protection range, ABB has managed to reduce the number of contactor coils to just four. For example, one contactor coil now handles 100V – 250VACDC. In addition, the total number of product variants has been reduced by up to 90%, which simplifies your business’ logistics and cuts administration costs.
By reducing contactor coil energy consumption by up to 80%, panels can be built smaller and transformers more compact. All the features of the AF technology, along with access to drawings and coordination tables online, simplifies your design and assembly process.
Time to prevent stoppages caused by voltage fluctuations. The AF contactor ensures distinct operation in unstable networks and signifies a major advance in motor control and power switching. Voltage sags, dips and surges pose no threat. The AF contactor secures your uptime.
Select thermal overload relays (trip class10) or electronic overload relays (trip class 10E, 20E, 30E in the same product) to protect your motors against overload and phase failure. Interlocking reversing pairs requires no spacing between contactors, meaning you can fit more functionality into cabinets or other enclosures.
With conventional contactor technology, it is recommended to use an external surge suppressor, an accessory that could cost as much as half of the contactor. With the AF technology, the surges are handled by the contactor and never reach the control circuit. One less product and one less complication to worry about.
