ABB 460 Line 2-Pole Auxiliary Contact Block, Lighting Contactor Accessory

The ABB 460 Line 2-Pole Auxiliary Contact Block adds extra NO/NC switching capability to compatible ABB lighting contactors. As a Double Pole type accessory, each contactor accepts one single or one double auxiliary contact block on either side of its base, giving panel builders and electricians a straightforward way to add supervisory or interlock contacts without a separate accessory enclosure. Supplied 1 EA per unit, it is a practical add-on for lighting control and switching panels that need extra signaling or control contacts.

Key Features

  • Type: Double Pole auxiliary contact block designed for use with ABB lighting contactors.
  • Flexible Mounting: Installs as one single or one double auxiliary contact block on either side of the contactor base.
  • Configurable Contacts: When installed on the left side the contacts operate as Normally Open (NO); when installed on the right side the contacts operate as Normally Closed (NC).
  • Expanded Switching: Supports a total of 2NO + 2NC contacts maximum per contactor when blocks are installed on both sides.
  • Accessory Compatibility: Purpose-built as an add-on auxiliary contact accessory for ABB lighting contactor bases, simplifying control-circuit expansion.
  • Packaging: Supplied 1 EA per unit for straightforward stocking and job-specific ordering.

  • Country of Origin: UKN

Typical Applications

  • Lighting Contactor Panels and Control Cabinets
  • Commercial and Industrial Lighting Control Systems
  • Supervisory and Status Indication Circuits
  • Interlocking and Signaling Circuits for Contactor-Based Switching
  • Panelboard Retrofits Requiring Additional Auxiliary Contacts

Why ABB?

ABB engineers its lighting contactor accessories, including this 2-Pole auxiliary contact block, to integrate directly with its contactor base designs for a clean, reliable fit. The dual-side mounting and configurable NO/NC operation give electricians and panel builders a straightforward way to expand control and signaling capability on ABB lighting contactor installations without added complexity.

ABB CR460XB2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I get a normally closed contact out of the ABB CR460XB2 auxiliary block?
Mounting side decides it. On the ABB 460 Line CR460XB2 block, contacts operate normally open when the block is mounted on the left side of the contactor base, and normally closed when mounted on the right side. So you don't order a separate NO or NC part number, you pick the side during install. Plan the panel layout accordingly, because swapping the function later means physically moving the block.
2) How many auxiliary contacts can I add to one ABB 460 Line lighting contactor?
Each ABB lighting contactor base accepts one single or one double auxiliary contact block per side, left and right. With a 2-pole (double) block on each side you reach the maximum of 2NO + 2NC per contactor. If your control scheme needs more supervisory or interlock contacts than that, you're into a second contactor or an interposing relay.
3) I need both a status contact and an interlock contact off the same lighting contactor. Can one CR460XB2 do it?
Not from one block. Because the CR460XB2's contacts take their function from the mounting side, a single block gives you two contacts of one type only, either both NO on the left or both NC on the right. A supervisory status contact plus an NC interlock means two blocks, one on each side of the contactor base.
4) I need auxiliary contacts on a Square D lighting contactor, not an ABB one - what do I order?
Match the block to the contactor family. The ABB CR460XB2 is specific to ABB 460 Line lighting contactor bases. On the Square D side, the 8910DPA series contactor takes the DPA-series auxiliary contact block rated 120 VAC, and Type S starters take the Square D Type S auxiliary contact block. Confirm the series stamped on the contactor before ordering, since the blocks are not interchangeable between families.
5) Can a Square D auxiliary contact block be used on an ABB 460 Line lighting contactor?
No. The CR460XB2 is a 2-pole auxiliary contact block built to mount directly to the side of an ABB lighting contactor base, and the NO/NC behavior depends on which side of that base it clips to. Square D auxiliary blocks are built around their own device families instead - the 8910DPA series block belongs to the DPA line, the Type S block to the Type S line, and the TeSys blocks to TeSys Deca and TeSys Ultra. None of those mounting interfaces match an ABB contactor base, so an auxiliary block has to come from the same family as the contactor it is expanding.
6) Is the ABB CR460XB2 the same kind of part as a TeSys GV2 auxiliary block?
They do the same job in different equipment. The ABB CR460XB2 is a 2-pole block that adds auxiliary switching to ABB lighting contactors, and it mounts on either side of the contactor base - left side gives normally open contacts, right side gives normally closed, for up to 2NO plus 2NC per contactor when both sides are populated. The Square D GVAE1 is a 1 NO/NC front-mount block for TeSys GV2/GV3 motor circuit protectors. Different host device, different mounting position, and a single contact rather than two poles.
7) I only need one extra contact for a status light - do I still need a 2-pole block?
On an ABB 460 Line contactor, each base accepts one single or one double auxiliary contact block per side, so a single-pole block covers a one-contact indication circuit while the CR460XB2 gives you two poles on that side. If the panel is Square D rather than ABB, the TeSys GVAE1 is the single 1 NO/NC front-mount equivalent for GV2/GV3 devices. Choose by how many signaling contacts the control schematic actually calls for.
8) What is the difference between the TeSys Ultra auxiliary block and the ABB CR460XB2?
The Square D LUA1C is a TeSys Ultra series auxiliary contact block, intended for TeSys Ultra overload and control units. The ABB CR460XB2 is a 460 Line accessory for ABB lighting contactors used in lighting control and switching panels, supervisory and status indication circuits, and interlocking circuits. They serve different control platforms, so the deciding factor is which manufacturer's device is already in the enclosure.
9) Is the CR460XB2 sold individually or in a multi-pack?
One each per unit. Order one block per contactor side you're adding contacts to, so a contactor that needs both NO and NC auxiliaries takes two blocks.
