FAQs
The AF116-40-22-14 is a 4-pole block contactor rated for a 690 V main circuit and 160 A, with two NO and two NC auxiliary contacts. It supports coil voltage from 250 to 500 V (AC and DC) and is suitable for motor control on 3-phase systems up to 55 kW. Ideal for conveyors, pumps, and fans.
Key ratings include AC-3 current of 116 A at 415–440–380–400 V, AC-1 current up to 160 A at 690 V, and a rated power of up to 55 kW at 415 V (AC-3). Insulation voltage is 1000 V, with a 8 kV impulse withstand and 300 cycles per hour switching frequency. These figures support reliable, heavy-duty motor control.
This contactor is well-suited for motor control in packaging lines, material handling, pumps, and HVAC drives. Its AF technology and surge protection help manage voltage variations, while the 4P configuration and add-on auxiliary blocks support scalable control architectures in compact panel layouts.
The AF116-40-22-14 carries CE and UL/CSA listings, with UKCA and EAC certifications also documented. These approvals support compliance for European and international deployments, aiding regulatory alignment during design reviews and procurement processes.
Built-in surge protection reduces external snubbers and associated maintenance, while the block design with add-on auxiliary blocks simplifies future expansion and wiring. The wide coil voltage range improves reliability in fluctuating networks, contributing to higher uptime and lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s life cycle.
