FAQs
The AF460N6-30-11-70 uses a block design that supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks. Install the main circuit connections using 47 mm² bars or up to 240 mm² rigid cables, then attach N/O and N/C auxiliary contacts to extend signaling. Ensure coil voltage matches your control circuit (100-250 V AC, 50/60 Hz or DC) and verify mechanical alignment before energizing. This approach minimizes wiring complexity while preserving safe, repeatable switching performance.
The coil accepts 100-250 V for AC, 50/60 Hz, or DC operation. Coil consumption is 12 V·A for holding at the maximum rated voltage, with pull-in consumption around 955 V·A. Power loss is specified at 21 W per pole under rated operating conditions. These values support stable operation across voltage variations and help optimize energy usage in control panels.
The device is a 3-pole contactor with 3 main NO contacts and 1 NO/1 NC auxiliary contact. Main circuit is rated up to 1000 V with AC-3 current up to 460 A (at 690 V, 55 °C) and AC-1 up to 700 A at 1000 V. It supports 50/60 Hz operation and offers robust insulation (Ui 1000 V) and impulse withstand (8 kV) suitable for demanding motor loads.
The AF460N6-30-11-70 complies with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-4-1, EN equivalents, UL 508, and CSA C22.2 N°14, with CE marking. Environmentally, it operates from -25 to 70 °C, up to 3000 m altitude without derating, and features coil terminals IP20 and main terminals IP00 for appropriate indoor installations.
Mechanical durability is rated at 5 million cycles, with a maximum mechanical switching frequency of 300 cycles per hour. Clear end-of-life guidance is provided through ABB EcoSolutions, including disassembly instructions and an Environmental Product Declaration. With 3 main contacts and a 3P design, maintenance intervals can be extended in high-cycle applications, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
