With AF technology and built-in surge protection, it offers a compact, extendable solution for motors up to 250 kW (AC-3) and power circuits up to 700 A. For buyers and engineers, this device combines reliability with easy accessory expansion through add-on auxiliary contact blocks, delivering predictable performance and lower lifecycle costs in demanding environments. Designed for DC control in conveyors, pumps, and fans, it reduces panel energy consumption and simplifies spare parts management.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SFL597001R6811 ABB: The AF460-30-11-68 is a 3 pole - 1000 V IEC or 600 V UL contactor with pre-mounted auxiliary contacts and Main Circuit Bars, controlling motors up to 250 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 400 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 700 A (AC-1) or 650 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (24-60 V DC), managing large control voltage variations, reducing panel energy consumptions and ensuring distinct operations in unstable networks. Furthermore, surge protection is built-in, offering a compact solution. AF contactors have a block type design, can be easily extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and an additional wide range of accessories.

FAQs
Install the device as a three-pole block contactor with main circuit terminals rated up to 1000 V and a DC coil of 24-60 V. Use the 47 mm² bus-bar connections or rigid Al/Cu cables (up to 240 mm²) for main conductors, and connect the single auxiliary contact block per the accessory guidelines. Ensure coil terminals are IP20 protected and maintain proper torque on all main-terminals at 35 N·m.
AC-3 ratings reach up to 460 A at 690 V and up to 200 A at 1000 V, with higher current capacity at lower voltages. AC-1 ratings can reach 700 A at 1000 V. For selecting protective devices, refer to the data: Rated Operational Current AC-3 and AC-1 vary by voltage and ambient temperature per IEC 60947-4-1 standards.
Yes, the AF460-30-11 includes built-in surge protection for robust operation in unstable networks. Coil operating limits follow IEC 60947-4-1: 0.85 x Uc Min to 1.1 x Uc Max within an ambient temperature up to 70 °C. The coil operates on 24-60 V DC with specific pull-in and holding power characteristics outlined in the data sheet.
This contactor carries CE and UKCA markings, along with UL/CSA listings (cULus) for North American compliance. Additional certificates include BV, DNV GL, RINA, and others, as well as RoHS, REACH, and CMRT declarations to support regulatory and sustainability requirements.
Main circuit terminals support 47 mm² bus bars or rigid Al/Cu cables up to 240 mm². Auxiliary circuits support flexible conductors with ferrules (0.75–2.5 mm²) or solid/stranded 1–4 mm². Coarse terminal protection and IP20 coil terminals ensure safe and reliable connections in a compact, modular form factor.
