The AF460B-30-22-71 uses AF technology to offer a wide control voltage range of 250–500 V (AC, 50/60 Hz) and DC compatibility, which stabilizes operation in networks with voltage swings and helps reduce energy waste in control circuits. This feature directly translates into lower panel energy consumption and more consistent switching of motor loads in variable supply conditions, making it ideal for automated manufacturing lines and processing plants. The 3-pole block design comes with pre-mounted auxiliary contacts and standard ferrules, enabling faster wiring, easier maintenance, and straightforward expansion with add-on blocks to accommodate evolving control logic without a full panel redesign. Built-in surge protection adds another layer of reliability, protecting downstream electronics from voltage spikes and extending equipment life in demanding environments. The compact, modular AF design supports a wide range of accessories, delivering installation flexibility and scalable control architectures for future-proof projects. Coil behavior—holding at max rated control voltage uses 12 VA while pull-in at max rated control voltage uses 885 VA—helps engineers balance standby power against reliable actuation, aiding overall system energy planning and preventive maintenance planning for motor-driven processes.

FAQs
For proper installation, mount the 3-pole block contactor with its main circuit terminals using Bar 47 mm² or equivalent rigid copper/aluminum cables up to 240 mm², ensuring a tightening torque of 35 N·m for main circuit connections and cable lugs. Use the recommended control circuit tools (M3.5 for control wiring and Pozidriv 2 for fasteners), and follow the device’s applicability to a 250–500 V control voltage range to match your control circuit supply.
Coil consumption is specified as 12 VA holding at the maximum rated control circuit voltage (50 Hz) and 885 VA for pull-in at the maximum rated control circuit voltage (50 Hz). This means low standby power with reliable actuation under peak control voltage, supporting energy planning in intelligent motor control panels.
