Part Number: 1SBL347061R1311
Quick Summary
ABB AF40B-30-11-13 Contactor is a three-pole motor starter for reliable control of medium-to-high power loads in industrial automation. In networks with voltage fluctuations, startup reliability and energy efficiency can suffer, leading to inconsistent motor operations. This device adheres to IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, and UL 60947-1, with CE and UKCA certifications for global compliance. By combining a broad control voltage range with built-in surge protection and a compact block design, it supports scalable motor control while reducing installation complexity, energy use in control circuits, and overall lifecycle costs. The AF technology also enables easy expansion with auxiliary blocks and accessories, making it suitable for both standalone starters and integrated automation systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL347061R1311 ABB: The AF40B-30-11-13 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 30 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 70 A (AC-1) or 60 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.

FAQs
The AF40B-30-11-13 supports TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rail mounting and can be screwed to panels using 2x M4 or 2x M6 screws. Main and auxiliary terminals are screw-type, with flexible ferrule connections for 1/2x 4–35 mm² on the main circuit and 1/2x 0.75–2.5 mm² on auxiliary/control circuits. This enables straightforward integration into existing control cabinets and simplifies wiring during installation.
Rated Operational Current AC-1: 70 A at 690 V (60 °C), 60 A at 690 V (60 °C), and 50 A at 690 V (70 °C). For AC-3, it provides 40 A at 415–440–500 V and up to 25 A at 690 V depending on temperature. The device also handles AC-3e in the same voltage ranges with the same current levels, aiding motor start/stop for common industrial workloads.
Yes. ABB lists motor control and protection for rolling stock applications as a data reference, while the device also supports general industrial motor control. Its 3P configuration, 690 V insulation, wide control voltage range, and add-on auxiliary contacts make it versatile for conveyors, pumps, fans, and other machinery in both rail-related and factory environments.
The AF40B-30-11-13 complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 and UL 60947-1/60947-4-1, and carries CE and UKCA declarations. Additional certifications include CB and RoHS/REACH declarations, supporting global market access and customer qualification for safety and environmental standards.
AF technology provides a wide control voltage tolerance, reducing energy loss and panel heat during voltage swings. Built-in surge protection lowers external protection needs, while coil consumption and low per-pole power loss cut operating costs. These features translate to longer component life, improved uptime, and lower total cost of ownership in automation systems.
