Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL176560R2100 ABB: The AF16ZB-22-00RT-21 is a 4 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with Ring-Tongue Terminals, controlling motors up to 7.5 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) and switching power circuits up to 30 A (AC-1) or 30 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (24-60 V 50/60 Hz and 20-60 V 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.
