AF460‑30‑11 is a 3‑pole AC contactor from ABB’s AF series, intended for motor control, power‑circuit switching, motor starters, isolation, bypass and distribution applications.It features 3 main contacts (normally open — 3NO) and includes one auxiliary contact set (1 NO + 1 NC) for control or signaling circuits.The coil control voltage supports a wide range (e.g. 100–250 V AC or DC, depending on version), allowing reliable operation under varying control‑voltage conditions and supporting energy‑efficient panel design.Its robust design with built‑in surge suppression and the “AF technology” ensures stable operation even under unstable networks. The block‑type design allows expansion with add‑on auxiliary contact blocks and other accessories.It is suitable for heavy‑duty industrial use: switching power circuits and controlling three‑phase motors, up to high voltage/current ratings.
