ABB AF38-30-00-11 Contactor - AF technology, 690V
Part Number: 1SBL297001R1100
Quick Summary
ABB AF38-30-00-11 Contactor is a rugged 3-pole motor starter designed for reliable control of up to 18.5 kW motors at 400 V AC in industrial drives. In networks with voltage variation, starters can fail to energize motors promptly, causing downtime and energy waste. CE marking and UL-listed variants support European and North American deployments, with built-in surge protection and AF technology enhancing reliability in harsh environments, while IP-rated enclosure options help preserve performance in dirty or damp facilities. By combining a compact AF design with easy add-on auxiliary blocks, ABB AF38 delivers scalable automation performance, reduced wiring complexity, and a lower total cost of ownership in modern electrical control panels.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL297001R1100 ABB: The AF38-30-00-11 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with 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 (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.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: 3-pole design with 690 V IEC or 600 V UL ratings enables direct motor control for medium-to-large fans, pumps, and conveyors, reducing panel footprint and wiring complexity while supporting up to 18.5 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3). This translates to fewer components and simpler maintenance in automation projects. The wide control voltage range of 24–60 V AC (50/60 Hz) and 20–60 V DC minimizes nuisance tripping during voltage swings, delivering smoother start-up and less process interruption in facilities with fluctuating supply. AF technology provides robust operation across variable control voltages, lowering energy consumption and improving overall system stability in dynamic production lines. Built-in surge protection shields contacts from voltage spikes, extending device life and reducing replacement costs in harsh environments. The block-type design supports easy expansion with add-on auxiliary contact blocks, enabling customized interlocking and control schemes without replacing the base unit. Screw terminals simplify wiring, accelerate commissioning, and improve fault tracing, which is especially beneficial in retrofit projects. Compatibility with standard enclosures and mounting footprints reduces integration time and avoids disruptive redesigns in existing panels. Application examples include conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools in manufacturing environments seeking reliable motor control with scalable options.

FAQs
What mounting, terminal, and coil wiring considerations should I observe when installing the AF38-30-00-11? This unit uses screw terminals for easy wiring, supports 3-pole motor control, and accepts 24–60 V AC (50/60 Hz) or 20–60 V DC control signals. Ensure enclosure is suitable for the environment and that interlock or auxiliary contact blocks are added per your control circuit, if required.
What are the critical electrical specs to match to my motor? The AF38-30-00-11 handles motors up to 18.5 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3) and up to 50 A (AC-1), with 690 V IEC and 600 V UL compatibility. These ratings guide selection for conveyors, pumps, and fans, ensuring reliable starting and switching in standard automation panels.
Is this contactor appropriate for high-dynamic loads like conveyors or variable-speed drives? Yes. Its wide control voltage range tolerates fluctuations, and the built-in surge protection minimizes contact wear in demanding industrial applications, helping sustain performance in environments with frequent starts and stops.
What certifications or standards apply to this ABB contactor and how can I verify them? European deployments typically rely on CE marking; North American configurations may carry UL/CSA listings. Confirm the specific variant with your supplier and check enclosure IP ratings to ensure suitability for dust and moisture exposure in your facility.
What impacts does this contactor have on maintenance and return on investment? Built-in surge protection reduces contact wear, while AF technology minimizes nuisance tripping from voltage swings. The option to add auxiliary contacts supports scalable control schemes without replacing the base unit, delivering lower maintenance costs and improved uptime over the system lifecycle.
