Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL296060R2300 ABB: The AF38ZB-30-00RT-23 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with Ring-Tongue 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 (100-250 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 and a wide control voltage range of 100–250 V AC/DC provide reliable actuation across fluctuating networks, improving start reliability and reducing energy waste in the control circuit. This translates to lower panel heat and fewer control faults during voltage dips, particularly in factories with variable supply quality and long cable runs. The 3-pole 690 V rating supports AC-3 motor control up to 22 kW (depending on voltage), enabling compact design for medium horsepower drives and reducing cabinet footprint while maintaining safe, code-compliant switching. Built‑in surge protection protects downstream electronics and minimizes maintenance costs, improving uptime in harsh electrical environments. Ring-tongue terminals and a compact 45 mm width simplify wiring and integration, delivering faster installation and safer, more repeatable terminations in busy panel rooms. DIN rail mounting compatibility (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and optional auxiliary contact blocks allow scalable control architectures, enabling quick expansion as line automation grows. Comprehensive standards compliance, including IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and EN 50155 applicable parts, supports audit-ready documentation and risk mitigation for ballast panel designs.

FAQs
This contactor supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails for fast, compliant installation in control panels. Additionally, two M4 screws can be used for panel mounting if required (screws are not supplied). The compact 45 mm width helps conserve panel space while keeping wiring accessible via ring-tongue terminals.
At 690 V, the device provides AC-1 operation up to 50 A at 40 °C, and AC-3 operation up to 24 A at 60 °C. The unit also offers AC-3e ratings within a similar range. These ratings support switching of motors and power circuits with predictable performance in industrial environments.
Yes. ABB provides datasheets and references for rolling stock applications, and the 1SBL296060R2300 is designed for motor control in both rail and general industrial settings. With IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and UL 60947-4-1 compliance, it supports reliability and safety requirements typical of rail and heavy automation environments.
The contactor complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA equivalents, with CE and UKCA declarations where applicable. It is supported by CB, CCC, UR certificates, and RoHS/REACH declarations, ensuring broad regulatory alignment across global markets and facilitating audit readiness.
The built‑in surge protection and AF technology reduce electrical stress and energy waste, contributing to lower operational costs and longer intervals between maintenance. The compact footprint and DIN rail compatibility speed installation, while add-on auxiliary contacts enable scalable control configurations, delivering a faster return on investment through improved reliability and easier future expansion.
