Quick Summary

ABB 1SBL236001R2100 Block Contactor is a 3-pole motor control device designed to reliably switch large loads up to 11 kW at 400–690 V AC in industrial settings. It addresses panel space and stability concerns by utilizing AF technology with a wide control voltage range, enabling operation from 24–60 V AC or 20–60 V DC and reducing panel energy variations. The device is built to meet IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 standards, with UL 60335-2-40 and CSA references, while CE and UKCA declarations underscore global compliance. Its compact form, screw terminals, and DIN-rail mounting translate to faster installation and lower total cost of ownership, making it a practical choice for OEMs and maintenance teams seeking reliability and ease of integration in motor-control panels.

Product Information

Extended Description

1SBL236001R2100 ABB: The AF26Z-30-00-21 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with screw terminals, controlling motors up to 11 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 15 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 45 A (AC-1) or 45 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.

FAQs

Mount the contactor on a TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rail and secure with standard mounting. Use screw terminals for the main circuit (1/2x 2.5–4 mm² or 1/2x 4–10 mm² flexible) and control terminals (1/2x 0.75–2.5 mm²) with proper stripping (14 mm main and 10 mm control). Tighten main terminals to 2.5 N·m and control terminals to 1.2 N·m. The unit is IP20 protected at both coil and main terminals, suitable for cabinet mounting in typical workshop environments.
Rated Insulation Voltage Ui is 690 V and Uimp is 6 kV. Rated Operational Current AC-3 at 690 V is 17 A (60 °C). Rated Operational Power AC-3 is up to 15 kW for voltages around 440–690 V. Maximum Switching Frequency for AC-3 is 1200 cycles per hour, with 3600 mechanical cycles per hour. These specs support reliable motor control for common industrial loads.
Yes, it supports ambient temperatures from -25 to 60 °C with overload relay installed, and up to -40 to 70 °C without an overload relay. Climatic Category B and IP20 protection provide adequate resilience in typical factory floors. The compact DIN-rail mount and robust terminals simplify installation in equipment subjected to vibration and dust.
The unit complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 LZGH2, CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-40, and has CE and UKCA declarations. UL/CSA ratings include multiple voltage and horsepower references, with additional certificates like CB, BV, ABS and DNV in related product families. This ensures global acceptance for medical, industrial, and consumer-grade machinery depending on configuration.
Take advantage of add-on auxiliary contact blocks to expand NC/NO signaling without replacing the core unit, and leverage the built-in surge protection to reduce external protection devices. Its compact size and DIN-rail mounting enable streamlined panel upgrades, while modular accessories simplify maintenance, lowering total cost of ownership over machine lifecycles.
