ABB AF190-30-11-43 Contactor - IEC/UL 1000 V Ready

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The AF190-30-11-43 is a 3-pole block contactor rated for mains up to 1000 V with 275 A AC-1 and 190 A AC-3 at several voltages, enabling motor control for pumps, conveyors, and fans with high inrush. This power rating translates to a compact footprint that saves panel space and reduces wiring complexity in new builds or retrofits. Application: ideal for OEMs and maintenance teams seeking reliable high-power switching in compact enclosures. The device uses AF technology with a fast operation time (coil energization to NO contact closing in 20–35 ms), delivering smoother soft-start behavior and reduced electrical stress on drives in unstable networks. This improves overall system efficiency and reduces mechanical wear on starters and motors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in surge protection complements the 1000 V insulation rating, enabling robust operation in harsh electrical environments and minimizing external surge protection components. This reduces BOM costs and panel complexity while maintaining safe switching performance. Application: suitable for applications in metalworking, material handling, and processing lines where reliability and space-saving matter. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The contactor includes an extensible block design with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and a wide range of accessories, facilitating scalable control schemes without replacing the base device. Application: simplifies customization for automation projects with evolving control logic and diagnostics. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Coil control is designed for 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz, with defined pull-in and hold currents that balance switching speed with energy use, yielding lower energy consumption per operation and cooler operation in continuous-duty applications. Application: improves energy efficiency in HVAC pumps, compressors, and process lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rated insulation voltage of 1000 V, with UL/CSA compatibility and a tight torque spec for mains and control terminals, supports safe, compliant installations and consistent performance in industrial environments. Application: suitable for regulated facilities requiring CE, UKCA, and UL certifications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Temperature operating range from -25 to 55 °C with storage down to -40 to 70 °C ensures reliable performance across outdoor and indoor installations, while maintaining protective margins in thermal cycling. Application: ideal for outdoor-enclosed switchgear and temperature-variant production lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mechanical durability of 5 million cycles and a maximum mechanical switching frequency of 300 cycles per hour guarantee long service life with predictable maintenance planning. Application: reduces downtime and maintenance cost in continuous-motion lines and robotics interfaces. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP20 coil terminals and IP00 main terminals provide clear separation of control and power connections, enabling safer initial wiring and easier fault isolation during commissioning. Application: simplifies installation and troubleshooting in complex automation cabinets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Comprehensive documentation with Data Sheet, CAD drawings, and installation instructions accelerates engineering timelines and ensures correct component selection. Application: supports fast onboarding of new staff and reduces risk during panel builds.
