The ABB AF96‑30‑00‑13 is a three‑pole AC contactor from ABB’s high‑performance AF Series of industrial contactors. It is designed for switching and controlling 3‑phase power circuits, especially three‑phase motors and inductive or non‑inductive power loads. The AF96 family features an electronic coil interface that accepts a wide range of AC/DC control voltages, reducing the need for multiple coil variants and supporting global control systems. Built‑in surge protection enhances reliability under voltage fluctuations and brownouts. This contactor is suitable for industrial automation, motor starters, control panels, and general power management applications.
