Part Number: 1SBL297005R1400
Quick Summary
Block Contactor ABB 1SBL297005R1400 is a high-capacity motor control device designed for industrial panels and line-side control. Many panel designs struggle with control voltage variations, leading to nuisance trips and energy waste; this model mitigates that with a wide coil range and built-in surge protection. Compliant with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1 and CSA standards, it also carries CE/UKCA marks for global applicability. Beyond safety and compliance, AF technology delivers reliable operation across fluctuating networks, while the compact 3P design fits tight spaces. The solution enables cost-efficient motor control, easy scalability with add-on contact blocks, and predictable lifecycle performance in demanding automation environments.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL297005R1400 ABB: The AF38-30-00K-14 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with push-in spring 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 (250-500 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.

FAQs
The device supports DIN rail mounting TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 for quick, tool-free insertion in standard control panels. When mounting on DIN rails, align the device with adjacent modules to maintain proper ventilation and adhere to the 35x15 or 35x7.5 rail spacing. For screw mounting, use 2 x M4 screws placed diagonally as specified. Ensure mains connections meet the 1/2 x 1...6 mm² conductor range and tighten terminals to the recommended torque to maintain reliable contact pressure.
AC-3 rated Ie varies with voltage and ambient temperature: at 415 V, 60°C up to 38 A; at 440 V, 60°C up to 38 A; at 500 V, 60°C up to 33 A; at 690 V, 60°C up to 24 A (and up to 38 A for 380/400 V). The device supports 3 poles in series for DC-3 with similar voltage-specific current ratings. When selecting for a given motor, compare full-load amps with these values to ensure safe, reliable starting and running.
Yes. AF technology blocks are designed for easy extension with add-on auxiliary contact blocks, enabling expanded control and signaling without replacing the base contactor. This compatibility supports more complex logic (NC/NO sensing, interlocking, sequencing) while preserving the compact footprint. When adding auxiliary blocks, confirm wire sizes and terminal compatibility, and adjust mounting height as needed to maintain fit and clearance in the panel.
The product adheres to IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-4-1, and UL 60947-4-1 with CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1. It carries CE and UKCA labeling, along with various certificates (CB, CCC, RINA, LR,UL), and RoHS/REACH declarations. This broad certification footprint supports global deployment across regions with strict motor control requirements and helps ensure safety, interoperability, and regulatory compliance in OEM and end-user environments.
The AF technology’s wide control voltage tolerance reduces control panel complexity and energy waste, while built-in surge protection lowers wear and maintenance. Its 3P 690 V rating supports efficient motor starting up to 18.5 kW AC-3, and optional auxiliary blocks enable scalable control schemes without new hardware. Combined with compact dimensions and DIN-rail compatibility, installation costs drop, downtime is minimized, and lifecycle reliability improves, delivering a favorable return on investment for medium-to-large motorized applications.
