The ABB AF16Z‑30‑10‑23 is a three‑pole AC contactor designed for controlling and switching power circuits in industrial and commercial electrical systems. It is suitable for starting and stopping three‑phase motors, and switching non‑inductive or slightly inductive loads in circuits up to 690 V AC. The contactor features an electronic coil interface that accepts a wide range of control voltages (AC or DC), and includes a built‑in surge suppression capability. It has one integrated normally open auxiliary contact for control and signaling.
