Feature → Business Impact → Application: The AX185-30-11-83 uses a 3-pole main circuit with 3 NO contacts and 1 auxiliary NO contact, enabling compact yet capable motor switching for three-phase loads up to 690 V. This reduces panel size and wiring complexity while increasing reliability in conveyors, pumps, and machine tools. Application: Ideal for new builds or upgrades in metals, packaging, or process industries where space is at a premium and consistent control is essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rated AC-3 power and 90 kW at 415 V (and higher at other voltages) translates to efficient starting torque and energy performance, which lowers lifecycle costs and downtime in productivity-critical motors. Application: Suitable for heavy-load drives with frequent starts and stops. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Coil control at 48 V (50 Hz) / 48 V (60 Hz) provides safe, low-voltage control circuits; minimal heat generation and simpler wiring reduce cabling errors and maintenance. Application: Control panels and remote motor starters in automated lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mechanical durability rated at 5 million operations and a maximum switching frequency of 3600 cycles/hour ensure long service life in demanding environments. Application: Industrial conveyors, fans, pumps, and processing equipment with high duty cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP40 protection and bar-type main terminals offer rugged protection and straightforward installation; weight and footprint are optimized for tight enclosures. Application: OEM panel builders seeking reliable, easy-to-specify contactors that integrate smoothly with standard motor protection kits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Comprehensive certifications (CE, UL/cULus, CCC, RoHS, REACH) minimize compliance risk across markets and simplify procurement for global projects. Application: Global manufacturing deployments with strict regulatory requirements.

FAQs
The AX185-30-11-83 is a 3-pole block contactor designed for main circuits up to 690 V with a 48 V control coil. It uses bar-type main terminals for straightforward wiring and supports an auxiliary NO contact. It fits standard motor protection schemes and is compatible with common 2D/3D CAD resources for quick panel integration. When planning installation, verify ambient temperature, available enclosure space, and conformity with IEC 60947-4-1 guidelines to ensure reliable operation in your specific application.
Key figures include a main circuit rated voltage up to 690 V, AC-3 current ratings up to 250 A (varying with voltage and ambient temperature), and a rated breaking/making capacity of up to 8/10 x Ie for AC-3. The device achieves 8 kV impulse withstand and 60 Hz/50 Hz coil operation with a 48 V control circuit. These specs support reliable motor starting and protection in demanding industrial drives.
Yes, the product is designed with a broad operating envelope in mind, including ambient temperatures up to 70 °C with appropriate derating considerations and non-derated altitude up to 3000 m. The enclosure and contact arrangement are chosen to maintain performance under demanding factory conditions, making it suitable for high-temperature production lines and outdoors on industrial premises within spec limits.
The AX185-30-11-83 includes CE declarations, UL/cULus certificates, and CCC declarations, along with RoHS and REACH compliance. It also aligns with WEEE B2B guidelines for responsible end-of-life handling. These certifications simplify cross-border procurement and reduce compliance risk for global installations across automotive, food & beverage, and packaging industries.
With a mechanical durability of about 5 million cycles and a relatively low coil power loss of 5 W per pole, maintenance intervals can be extended and energy usage reduced. The compact size and standard terminal layout simplify installation, wiring, and future replacement. Combined with ABB’s protection family, this delivers predictable performance, reduced downtime, and a clear return on investment for high‑duty automation projects.
