ABB AF116-30-00B-32 Block Contactor - UL/CSA Certified
Part Number: 1SFL427002R3200
Quick Summary
Block Contactor AF116-30-00B-32 from ABB provides reliable motor control in electrical protection and circuit control for industrial automation. This three-pole device handles mains up to 690 V and motors up to 55 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3), with a wide control-voltage range of 48–130 V AC or DC. In plants with voltage fluctuations, one common pain point is nuisance tripping; the AF technology maintains stable operation, reducing panel stress and energy waste. Built-in surge protection and a compact, extendable block design support long-term reliability and easy retrofits. Certified for CE, UL/CSA, and UKCA, with RoHS and REACH declarations that simplify global compliance. For procurement value, compatibility with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and a broad accessory family boosts installation efficiency and lowers total cost of ownership.
