ABB 1SCD014512R1 Electrical Contactor - 250A UL1008

ABB 1SCD014512R1 provides a 4P 250 A rated at 208 V AC for reliable 3-phase motor control in medium to large industrial panels. This pairing reduces nuisance trips and provides clean, predictable load switching under demanding duty cycles, improving uptime and equipment life. It also supports standard motor control schemes, enabling seamless integration with existing starters, overloads, and wiring diagrams. UL 1008 and cULus certifications ensure the device meets stringent protection standards, simplifying approvals and regulator audits. For system integrators, this translates into faster commissioning, fewer change orders, and lower project risk. The product also carries ETIM 8 classification, aiding data consistency and cross-vendor compatibility in procurement ecosystems. Open Transition switching minimizes arcing and voltage transients during contact changes, extending controller and contact life. Switched Neutral design supports circuits requiring neutral management, improving protection against unintended energization. These features reduce EMI concerns and support safer operation in critical automation tasks. 4P configuration and 208 V operation align with common industrial controls and panel layouts, enabling drop-in compatibility with MCCs and starter assemblies. The device supports straightforward wiring, standardized torque specs, and compatible mounting footprints, reducing assembly time. This compatibility lowers on-site labor costs and accelerates time-to-operational readiness. CMRT support signals responsible sourcing, aiding sustainability reporting and compliance with internal procurement policies. The emphasis on conflict mineral transparency helps customers meet supplier diversity goals while maintaining performance credentials. Coupled with UL 1008 compliance, it simplifies vendor qualification across regulated markets. Country of origin United States, combined with US-based manufacturing support, improves lead times and spare parts availability for critical maintenance. The packaging (crate 1 piece) and compact footprint simplify logistics and storage in busy maintenance environments. Overall, ABB's 1SCD014512R1 delivers robust performance with predictable maintenance and strong lifecycle cost benefits.
