At Light + Building, the world's leading trade fair for lighting and building technology, taking place from March 18 to 23, 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany, ABB will be showing a new range of installation contactors covering a wide range of applications from 16 to 100 A. The devices provide humming-free operation, making them ideal for use in noise-sensitive environments. Here they switch lighting, heating, air conditioning and ventilation applications as well as pumps and other circuits.
ABB contactors are widely used in hotels, residential buildings and areas where their humming and quiet switching ensures peace of mind. The devices have a DC magnet system and can be controlled with both AC and DC voltage.
The new range of rated contact current rated contactors from 16 to 100 A includes a wide selection of contact configurations and control voltages. Devices with integrated handset allow, among other things, manual switching on without a control signal and supplement the range. Tool-less auxiliary switches can be quickly and conveniently mounted on all installation contactors of the new series. An integrated, highly recognizable switch position display accelerates the diagnosis and provides reliable information about the status of the installation contactor at a glance.
Single and multi-piece packaging with EAN barcodes also directly on the device simplify pricing, warehousing and processing. With all these features, ABB is achieving its goal of making the new solution even more efficient for customers.
The device series also fits perfectly with the proven pro M compact system from ABB. This makes the new installation contactors fully compatible with other modular DIN rail installation equipment.
The new series will be launched globally in the first quarter of 2018, with support from local experts and fast delivery. All required approvals will be available, including those for naval use. The devices are IEC 60947-4-1 and IEC 61095 certified and designed for Pollution Degree 3.
