FAQs
The AF305-40-22-12 features a block design with pre-mounted auxiliary contacts and Main Circuit Bars, enabling quick panel assembly. For installation, mount the unit in the intended chassis, connect Main Circuit leads using flexible 2 x 70-185 mm² or rigid Al/Cu options (1 x 185-240 mm² for Al or 2 x 70-185 mm² for Cu), and fasten terminals to the recommended torque of 22-43 N·m. Ensure coil connections use 48-130 V control voltage per rating, and use proper isolation and IP20 protection for coil terminals.
For AC-3, the contactor handles 305 A at 415, 440, or 380/400 V (55 °C). Rated power is 160 kW at 415/440/380/400 V (AC-3). For AC-1, the rated currents are 375 A at 1000 V 40 °C, 325 A at 1000 V 60 °C, and 260 A at 1000 V 70 °C, with corresponding voltage class and design exclusions. These ratings support robust motor starting and breaking behavior in typical industrial drives.
Yes. The AF305-40-22-12 is CE and UKCA certified for EU and UK markets, and UL/cUL listed for North American use. It is RoHS II compliant and supports WEEE recycling, making it suitable for global deployment across manufacturing facilities. These certifications ensure regulatory compliance for equipment installed in diverse regions, reducing procurement risk.
Operational ambient temperatures range from -25 to 50 °C with a thermal overload relay installed, and up to 3000 m altitude without derating. Coil terminals are IP20 protected while main terminals are IP00, and the device is designed for 0.85–1.1 Uc coil limits at temperatures up to 70 °C. Insist on correct torque, secure wiring, and appropriate enclosure rating for the intended environment.
AF technology enables a wide control voltage range, allowing the control circuitry to tolerate large voltage variations without wasting energy or stalling. Built-in surge protection reduces transient events, and the compact block design lowers panel footprint and wiring complexity. Together with add-on auxiliary blocks, this yields lower operating costs, simpler maintenance, and better overall drive efficiency in industrial installations.
