ABB AF38-30-00-11 Three-Phase Industrial Electromagnetic Contactor

ABB AF38-30-00-11 is a three-pole electromagnetic contactor from the AF38 family, designed for motor control with a coil that accepts 24–60 V AC or DC. It features three normally open contacts (3PST-NO) with screw terminals and is suitable for DIN-rail mounting in control cabinets. The device is rated for line voltages up to 690 V and supports AC-1 loads up to 50 A at 40 °C (42 A at 60 °C, 37 A at 70 °C), and AC-3 motor loads up to 38 A at 415–440 V, 33 A at 500 V, or 24 A at 690 V (380/400 V: 38 A at 60 °C). Coil voltage is 24–60 VAC or 20–60 VDC. In practical terms, this translates to motor control up to roughly 18.5 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3) or about 25 hp at 480 V UL, with a maximum switching current around 50 A for AC-1/general use. The AF38-30-00-11 is suitable for a wide range of industrial control and motor-start applications where compact 3-pole, DIN-rail compatible control is required.
