FAQs
Install the AF116-30-22-12 in a clean panel space using the double clamp terminals for the main circuit and auxiliary contacts. Tighten main circuit connections to 8 N·m and auxiliary cable lugs to 9 N·m, ensuring proper isolation and compliance with IP20 coil terminals. The compact block design supports straightforward wiring with standard 10–70 mm² conductor sizes for the main circuit.
The contactor delivers AC-3 rated current up to 65 A at 690 V and AC-3 power up to 55 kW, with a robust 8 x Ie breaking capacity and a 300 cycles/hour switching rate. Its wide control voltage range and built-in surge protection ensure reliable starting of heavy loads like pumps and fans, while maintaining controlled arc effects and duty life in high-inertia motors.
The AF116-30-22-12 carries CE and UL/CSA approvals, UKCA compliance, and multiple global certificates (RINA, BV, DNV, ABS, and more). This broad certification set simplifies cross-border procurement and ensures conformity with electrical safety, performance, and environmental requirements, reducing risk during audits and facilitating smoother product approvals for machinery and panel builds.
Yes. The AF116-30-22-12 uses a block-type design that accommodates add-on auxiliary contact blocks, enabling scalable control logic as machine needs evolve. This reduces the need for complete replacements during upgrades and supports modular automation strategies in OEM equipment, retrofits, and expansion projects.
ROI benefits arise from reduced energy consumption in control circuits due to AF technology, lower panel space requirements from the compact design, fewer components thanks to built-in surge protection, and easier maintenance with pre-mounted auxiliaries. The 690 V/160 A capability also supports longer motor life and fewer downtime events in demanding industrial lines.
