Part Number: 1SBL156061R2201
Quick Summary
The AF12ZB-30-01-22 Contactor is a 3-pole motor control device for 690 V systems. Engineers often face voltage fluctuations and nuisance trips in automation panels; this ABB solution uses AF technology with a wide control voltage range and built-in surge protection to stabilize operations. It complies with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 and CSA/CE/UKCA certifications, with IP20 protection and RoHS compliance. In modern automation environments, the compact design, DIN-rail compatibility, and extendability with add-on auxiliary blocks deliver reliable motor control while minimizing panel footprint and total cost of ownership.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL156061R2201 ABB: The AF12ZB-30-01-22 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with 1 built-in auxiliary contact and screw terminals, controlling motors up to 5.5 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 7-1/2 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 28 A (AC-1) or 28 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (48-130 V 50/60 Hz and DC), managing large control voltage variations, reducing panel energy consumptions and ensuring distinct operations in unstable networks. Furthermore, surge protection is built-in, offering a compact solution. AF contactors have a block type design, can be easily extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and an additional wide range of accessories.

FAQs
Use the TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rail mounting options and secure the unit in a wired enclosure. Connect the main circuit conductors to the screw terminals with flexible or rigid conductors as specified (0.75–6 mm²). For the control circuit, use 48–130 V (AC or DC) and follow the included wiring diagram to integrate the built-in auxiliary contact into interlock or signaling circuits.
At 690 V and 60 °C, the Rated Operational Current AC-3 (Ie) is 12 A. This applies across the typical 690 V configurations listed for the device, with similar 12 A ratings at the specified ambient temperatures, ensuring predictable motor switching performance for up to several kilowatts depending on the motor type.
Yes. The AF12ZB-30-01-22 is designed for robust motor control in demanding environments, including rolling stock and general industrial machinery. It features wide control voltage tolerance, built-in surge protection, IP20 terminals, and broad regulatory compliance (IEC/EN, UL/CSA, CE/UKCA), making it suitable for global deployments when installed in appropriate enclosures.
The device complies with IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-4-1, and UL 60335-2-40 among others, with CSA C22.2 and CCC/CE/UKCA marks as applicable. RoHS and WEEE considerations are included, ensuring sustainability and regulatory compatibility for international supply chains.
Built-in surge protection reduces damage from transients, lowering spare parts and maintenance costs. The wide control voltage range reduces nuisance trips in variable networks, increasing uptime. Its compact, extendable design minimizes panel space and wiring, lowering installation time and enabling scalable solutions as system requirements grow.
