Three main poles with a built-in NC auxiliary contact reduce wiring complexity and improve reliability, leading to fewer connection errors and faster panel assembly in conveyors and pumps. The main circuit is rated up to 690 V with 60 A in AC-1 and 25 A in AC-3 at 690 V, delivering up to 22 kW in AC-3, enabling direct switching of common motor loads without oversizing. The control coil is 110 V (50 Hz) or 110–120 V (60 Hz) and consumes low power—3 W per pole in AC-1 service and 1.3 W per pole in AC-3—enhancing energy efficiency and reducing heat in control panels. All terminals are IP20 protected with screw terminals; tightening torques are 2.3 N·m for main, 1 N·m for coil and auxiliary circuits, ensuring secure connections in industrial environments. The compact footprint—54 mm wide, 90 mm deep, 108.3 mm high, 0.667 kg—supports front or side mounting with add-on auxiliary blocks and a wide accessories range. Mechanical switching rates reach up to 3600 cycles per hour, while electrical switches (AC-3) reach up to 1200 cycles per hour, supporting frequent start/stop duty. Availability of CAD data and installation documentation simplifies integration for panel builders and machine manufacturers.

FAQs
Install the device with the main contacts wired to the 3-phase motor and supply, and connect the coil to 110 V at 50 Hz or 110–120 V at 60 Hz. Use the built-in NC auxiliary contact and add-on blocks as needed for your control logic. Tighten main terminals to 2.3 N·m and coil/auxiliary terminals to 1 N·m. Ensure IP20 protection is maintained and consult CAD data for exact mounting positions.
At 690 V, the device supports Ie AC-1 of 60 A (40 °C) and Ie AC-3 of 25 A (55 °C). It can deliver up to 22 kW in AC-3 service. Coil voltage is 110 V (50 Hz) or 110–120 V (60 Hz). Power loss is 3 W per pole for AC-1 and 1.3 W per pole for AC-3, contributing to cooler control panels and better efficiency.
Yes. The 1SBL321074R8401 is designed for frequent switching of 3-phase motors up to 690 V, typical in conveyors and pumps. Its AC-3 rating and 22 kW capability at 690 V support motor starting and running duty, while its compact footprint and add-on auxiliary options simplify integration into existing control panels and machine layouts.
This ABB contactor carries CE conformity for Europe and UL/CSA certification for North America, along with RoHS II and REACH compliance. It also aligns with WEEE guidelines for B2B users. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance, safe operation, and responsible material usage across global installations.
The unit’s low coil power loss reduces heat and energy use in control panels, while its 3600-step mechanical and 1200-step electrical switching capacities minimize downtime from wear. A compact footprint and wide accessory ecosystem simplify spare parts and future upgrades, delivering faster commissioning and a favorable return-on-investment in automated motor-control applications.
