FAQs
The AF305-30-22-32 uses a 3P main circuit with bars for the main terminals and supports auxiliary connections via ferrule-compatible terminations. It accommodates flexible wiring for auxiliary circuits (0.75–2.5 mm² ferrules, 1–4 mm² solid or stranded), and can be extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks to tailor control logic. Its compact block design simplifies panel layouts and reduces installation time.
Rated Operational Current AC-1 varies with voltage and temperature (e.g., 375 A at 1000 V, 60 °C; 325 A at 1000 V, 60 °C; 260 A at 1000 V, 70 °C; 500 A at 690 V, 40 °C). For AC-3, operating power reaches up to 250 kW at 690 V and current ratings around 290–305 A depending on voltage and temperature. The device also supports a maximum breaking capacity and making capacity suitable for high-inertia motors.
Yes. With AC-3 rated power up to 250 kW at 690 V and 185 kW at 1000 V, this 3-pole contactor is designed for demanding motor start/stop duties. It provides reliable control with a fast 30–60 ms pull-in and 45–80 ms release time, ensuring smooth motor ramping and reduced electrical stress on drives.
The AF305-30-22-32 carries CE declarations and UL/cUL certificates, supports UL A2L certification for low-emission configurations, and aligns with IEC 60947-4-1 and related EN/VDE standards. RoHS, REACH, TSCA declarations are included, and the part is suitable for B2B industrial use with robust environmental and safety compliance.
AF technology delivers a wide control voltage tolerance (48–130 V) that minimizes mis-operation due to supply variability, reducing downtime. Mechanical durability reaches around 5 million cycles, lowering replacement frequency. Built-in surge protection reduces transient damage, and the option to add auxiliary blocks supports scalable control logic without replacing the base device, contributing to lower maintenance costs and faster line upgrades.
