Compact control panels or automation cabinets
General AC switching where moderate currents are required and heavy-duty contactors are not needed
The ABB BC7‑30‑01 is a compact 3‑pole miniature contactor from ABB’s BC7 series, designed for switching small to moderate three‑phase AC loads and general power circuits. It features three main normally‑open contacts (3 NO) and one built-in normally‑closed auxiliary contact (1 NC), providing both load switching and control/signaling functions. The BC7‑30‑01 is suitable for small motors, control panels, pumps, HVAC systems, lighting, and other light-to-medium load applications. Its compact size allows installation in space-constrained control panels or automation cabinets, and it supports screw-terminal or solder-pin connections.
