ABB 1SBL296001R2211 Block Contactor - IEC 60947-4-1 / UL 60335-2-40
Part Number: 1SBL296001R2211
Quick Summary
Block Contactor ABB 1SBL296001R2211 is a reliable motor control device for compact industrial panels. It supports motors up to 18.5 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3) and offers pre-mounted auxiliary contacts for simplified wiring. A common pain point in machines and lines is voltage fluctuation causing unreliable starts; AF technology mitigates this by enabling a wide control-voltage range (48–130 V AC/DC) and built-in surge protection. The design complies with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, and UL 60335-2-40, with additional CSA and CE alignment for global deployments. Its extendable auxiliary contact blocks, compact footprint, and DIN-rail mounting translate to lower installation time, easier maintenance, and predictable performance in demanding environments.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL296001R2211 ABB: The AF38Z-30-11-22 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with pre-mounted auxiliary contacts and screw terminals, controlling motors up to 18.5 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 25 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 50 A (AC-1) or 50 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.

AF technology enables a three-pole block contactor with a broad control voltage range, reducing nuisance trips and enabling stable operation in networks with voltage swings. Business impact: improved equipment uptime and lower energy waste in panel servicing; application: motor control in packaging lines, conveyors, and general manufacturing lines. The unit ships with pre-mounted auxiliary contacts (1 NO + 1 NC), streamlining control wiring and enabling faster interlock and signaling implementations. Business impact: shorter installation times and easier diagnostics; application: interlocking and signaling for safety circuits in automated cells. Integrated surge protection protects coils and control circuits, reducing downtime and extending product life. Business impact: fewer field failures, lower maintenance costs; application: motors driving variable loads in process lines. Compact DIN-rail mounting (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and a 45 mm width save panel space, enabling higher fault tolerance and simpler retrofits. Business impact: denser control panels, easier upgrades, and consistent street-robust installation. Rated operational currents meet common industrial needs, with AC-3 power handling up to 18.5 kW at 400 V and auxiliary/control circuits designed for reliable long-term performance. Application: heavy-duty motor control in industrial environments. The screw-terminal design with defined tightening torques (Main 2.5 N·m, Auxiliary/Control 1.2 N·m) supports secure, vibration-resistant connections. Business impact: robust field assembly and reduced rework, especially in harsh environments. Compatibility with add-on auxiliary blocks and accessories offers scalable control architectures, ensuring future-proof installations without complete panel rebuilds. Application: modular automation schemes in OEM equipment and retrofit projects.

FAQs
This block contactor is designed for DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 (35x15 mm) or TH35-7.5 (35x7.5 mm) rails. Ensure space for auxiliary contact blocks and tighten terminal screws to 1.2 N·m for auxiliary and control circuits; main terminals require up to 2.5 N·m. Compatible with standard ABB accessories to extend signaling and interlock capabilities.
Rated Operational Current AC-3 at 690 V is 24 A (60 °C) and 38 A (60 °C) for AC-3e variants across voltage points; AC-1 ratings are 50 A at 690 V. For motor loads, typical application supports up to 18.5 kW at 400 V (AC-3) with built-in surge protection and 3 main contacts plus 1 auxiliary contact.
Yes. The AF technology provides a wide control-voltage range of 48–130 V AC/60 Hz or DC, enabling reliable operation amid fluctuations. This reduces mis-trips and improves uptime in environments with unstable supply or motor start surges.
The device complies with IEC/EN 60947‑1 and 60947‑4‑1, UL 60335‑2‑40 (LZGH2 A2L), CSA variants, and CE/UKCA declarations. It also carries multiple third-party certificates (ABS, BV, DNV, UL listings) as applicable to the AF family, ensuring compliance in global deployments.
The pre-mounted auxiliaries, screw terminals, and DIN-rail compatibility simplify installation and diagnostics, reducing labor costs. Integrated surge protection and low coil power loss improve reliability and reduce energy consumption. The modular approach with add-on contact blocks supports scalable automation, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the panel lifecycle.
