The ABB AX65‑30‑11 is a three-pole AC contactor designed for industrial electrical control applications. It is part of ABB’s AX series of magnetic contactors, engineered to reliably switch three-phase motors and other AC loads. The contactor features three main contacts and built-in auxiliary contacts for control and signaling functions. It is suitable for use in motor starters, automation panels, switching circuits, and general power control equipment. Coil voltages are available in multiple variants to match different control voltages (e.g., 24 V, 110 V, 220–230 V, 400–415 V AC/DC), making the device adaptable for a wide range of industrial control systems.
