ABB introduces a new AFC contactor
Increase the digital and intelligent development of the industry
Excellent on-off and breaking ability ·, providing more motor starting options.
· Longer electrical life, escort the safe operation of the motor.
· Compact modular design, no need to increase the width, making installation and maintenance more flexible and convenient.
In the context of the deep integration of digital technology and low-carbon development, the industrial manufacturing industry has ushered in a new wave of intelligent transformation and upgrading, which needs to be supported by high-performance and highly applicable automation control equipment. In response to the need for industry innovation in smart manufacturing, ABB AFC contactors came into being, which combine higher energy efficiency, stronger compatibility and higher safety, bringing more lasting peace of mind to motor operation.
Longer service life for safe motor operation
AFC contactors have excellent on-off and breaking capabilities, which can support high-efficiency motors, providing users with more motor starting options. The contactor is suitable for a wide range of applications, capable of supporting AC motors with a maximum current of 96A, a control power of 45kW, and is AC-3 compliant. In addition, the AFC also has a longer electrical life, such as the AFC52 model contactor, which has an AC-3 life of up to 1.3 million cycles, ensuring more reliable and long-lasting protection of the motor.
High security Suitable for a variety of complex environments
The transformation and upgrading of industrial automation has a high demand for the safety of equipment, so users should choose suitable thermal overload relays or electronic overload relays to effectively protect the motor from overload and phase failure. At the same time, the AFC contactor can meet the application in complex environments, such as its new dust cover design, which can effectively improve the reliability of the equipment in dust, outdoor and other environments
The compact modular design makes installation and maintenance easier
As an extension of ABB's AF series contactors, the AFC contactors feature a compact, modular design that requires only mechanical or electrical interlocking inserts without additional width. AFC contactors are the same size as AF series contactors, can use the same common circuit design, can meet a variety of applications, and do not need to design additional structure and size during installation, making installation and maintenance more convenient and flexible.
Flexible access saves assembly time
AFC contactors provide flexible access to coil terminals and surge stoppers from the top, bottom, or front, and surge stoppers can be mounted from the top or bottom. In addition, the AFC contactors are available in a plug-in spring-loaded terminal version for easy and reliable wiring. The new AFC contactors are suitable for a wide range of common applications, with compatible, easy-to-use accessories and connections to meet the needs of a wide range of motor starting styles while saving assembly time.
On top of high performance, the new AFC contactors enhance flexibility and practicality. At the same time, this series of products also comply with many mainstream international standards and certifications, such as CCC certification (China Compulsory Product Certification), U Er certification (Underwriters Laboratories) certification and LR, DNV, BV and other mainstream classification society certifications, so that they can be used in many countries. In addition, the use of AFC contactors is guaranteed by a full range of services, thanks to the support of ABB's global service network, users can enjoy a one-stop worry-free experience no matter where they are.
