ABB AF Series 3-Pole Contactor, 100-250V AC/DC Control Voltage

The ABB AF Series contactor is a 3-pole, block-type contactor designed for controlling power circuits up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC, primarily for 3-phase motors and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads. This page covers the AF Series contactor family with AC-3 rated current options ranging from 26 A to 30 A, so you can match the exact current rating to your motor or load application. Every unit in the family shares the same electronic coil interface accepting a wide control voltage range of 100-250 V AC/DC, operating on 50/60 Hz AC or DC control circuits, so a single coil design covers control voltages used worldwide without a coil change. Built-in surge protection eliminates the need for additional surge suppressors, and each unit ships with screw terminals for straightforward field wiring.

Key Features

  • Configuration: 3-pole, 1-stack block-type contactor design for 3-phase motor and load control.
  • AC-3 Rated Current: Available in 26 A (AC-3) and 30 A (AC-3) ratings, allowing selection of the correct current rating for the connected load.
  • Wide Control Voltage: Electronic coil interface accepts 100-250 V AC/DC (50/60 Hz AC or DC operation), covering global control voltages with one coil.
  • Built-In Surge Protection: Integrated surge protection means no additional surge suppressors are required.

ABB AF26-30-00-13 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order a different coil for 120V versus 240V control on the ABB AF Series contactor?
No coil change is needed. The AF Series contactor uses an electronic coil interface that accepts 100-250 V, and it will run on 50/60 Hz AC or on DC control. One unit covers 120 V, 208 V, 230 V and 240 V control schemes, which is why it works on panels built for export or for mixed-voltage plants.
2) What are the differences between the AF26-30-00-13 and AF30-30-00-13 contactors?
Same 3-pole frame, same 100-250 V AC/DC electronic coil, same screw terminals. The difference is the AC-3 rated current: AF26-30-00-13 is 26 A AC-3 and AF30-30-00-13 is 30 A AC-3. AC-3 is the squirrel-cage motor duty rating, so size off your motor full load amps, not the breaker.
3) Will an ABB AF26-30-00-13 contactor switch a 480V three-phase motor?
Yes. The AF Series 3-pole contactor is built for power circuits up to 690 V AC, so 208, 240, 480 and 600 V three-phase motor circuits are all inside its rating. It also handles DC power circuits to 220 V. Match the AC-3 current rating to the motor: 26 A on the AF26-30-00-13, 30 A on the AF30-30-00-13.
4) Does the ABB AF contactor have mirror contacts for a safety relay circuit?
It does. The AF Series carries N.C. mirror contacts compliant with Annex F of IEC 60947-4-1, which is what a safety circuit needs for positive feedback that the main poles have actually opened. The mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts meet Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1. That combination is what lets you use these in a machine safety chain rather than just a plain motor starter.
5) Can the ABB AF Series contactor be driven from a 24V DC PLC output?
No. The coil on these AF26 and AF30 units accepts 100-250 V, AC or DC. A 24 V DC PLC output can't pull them in directly; you'd interpose a relay with a 24 V DC coil and switch 120 V or 240 V to the contactor coil from its contacts. If the panel is built around 24 V DC control throughout, you want an AF model with a low-voltage coil variant instead.
6) What is the difference between an ABB AF26-30-00-13 contactor and a Square D 8910 definite purpose contactor?
The ABB AF26-30-00-13 is a 3-pole block-type contactor with an electronic coil interface accepting 100-250 V AC or DC control, built-in surge protection, and screw terminals, intended for 3-phase motor and load control on power circuits up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC. The Square D Class 8910 is a definite purpose contactor, a design built around specific equipment loads such as HVAC and refrigeration rather than around a wide-range universal coil. If you need one unit to accept whatever control voltage the panel supplies between 100 and 250 V, the AF series coil does that without a coil change; a definite purpose contactor is ordered to a fixed coil voltage for the equipment it serves.
7) Can I use an ABB AF30-30-00-13 contactor to switch lighting circuits instead of a lighting contactor?
The ABB AF30-30-00-13 is described for 3-phase motors and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, so it is not the purpose-built answer for a large lighting bank. Square D's 8903S Type S is an electrically held lighting contactor in a 3-pole build, and the 8903L Type L multipole lighting contactor is offered electrically held in an 8-pole, 30 A, 600 V configuration when a panel needs more switched poles than three. Choose the lighting contactor when the job is branch lighting control and pole count is driving the selection; choose the AF for motor and general load switching where the wide 100-250 V AC/DC coil is the advantage.
8) Do I have to add a surge suppressor across the coil of the ABB AF Series contactor?
No. Surge protection is built into the AF Series coil electronics, so you don't need a separate RC snubber or diode module across the coil terminals. That saves a DIN rail position and one less part to stock when you're building a control panel.
9) Can I add auxiliary contacts to the ABB AF Series contactor after it's installed?
Yes. Add-on auxiliary contact blocks mount to the front and to the sides of the AF Series body, so you can add interlock, run-status or pilot-light contacts without swapping the contactor. The base unit here is a 3-pole with no built-in auxiliaries, so if you need an aux contact for a seal-in circuit, plan on ordering a block with it.
10) Is an ABB AF Series contactor the right choice for a lighting panel, or should I use a lighting contactor?
For a lighting panel, use a purpose-built lighting contactor instead. The AF Series is a block-type motor contactor sized to AC-3 duty for 3-phase motors and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads. Multi-pole lighting loads with high inrush are better served by something like the Square D 8903L Type L multipole lighting contactor, which is an 8-pole electrically held 30 A 600 V unit, or the 3-pole Square D 8903S Type S electrically held lighting contactor.
11) Is the ABB AF Series a direct replacement for a Square D 8903S lighting contactor?
Not a direct swap. Both are 3-pole devices, but the Square D 8903S Type S is an electrically held lighting contactor and the ABB AF26-30-00-13 and AF30-30-00-13 are block-type power contactors sized by AC-3 motor rating at 26 A and 30 A. The AF units use screw terminals with a 100-250 V AC/DC electronic coil, so control wiring and mounting footprint both need to be verified against the existing panel before treating one as a retrofit for the other.
12) Do the ABB AF contactors come with screw terminals or spring clamp?
Screw terminals. The AF26-30-00-13 and AF30-30-00-13 ship with screw terminals for field wiring, so standard ring or ferrule terminations and a screwdriver are all you need at install. No separate terminal kit to order.
13) How many main poles does the ABB AF26-30-00-13 contactor have, and can it switch a single-phase load?
Three main poles, in a 1-stack block-type body. For a single-phase 2-wire load you simply use two of the three poles; the third sits unused. For a 3-phase motor all three carry the load, and the AC-3 rating (26 A on the AF26, 30 A on the AF30) is the number to size against.
