Description
AF38-30-00-12 Block Contactor
The AF38-30-00-12 is a 3 pole – 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with screw terminals, controlling motors up to 18.5 kW/400 V AC (AC-3) or 25 hp/480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 50 A (AC-1) or 50 A UL general use. Thanks to AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range of 48-130 V 50/60 Hz and DC, managing large control voltage variations, reducing panel energy consumptions and ensuring distinct operations in unstable networks. 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 a wide range of accessories.
