ABB UA30-30-10 is a three-pole capacitor-switching contactor with a 24 V AC 50/60 Hz coil, three normally open main contacts and one normally open auxiliary contact for power-factor correction systems.
Why Choose the ABB UA30-30-10 Capacitor Contactor?
The ABB UA30-30-10, product code 1SBL281022R8110, is a robust three-pole capacitor-switching contactor designed for controlling capacitor banks in industrial power-factor correction systems. Its application-specific design supports dependable switching of capacitive loads where high transient currents can occur during energisation.
Part of the established ABB UA contactor series, the UA30-30-10 combines three normally open main contacts with one built-in normally open auxiliary contact. The compact block-type construction supports integration into capacitor-control panels and can be extended with compatible ABB auxiliary contact blocks and accessories.
This exact model features a 24 V AC 50/60 Hz control coil and is designed for power circuits with operational voltages up to 690 V AC. Screw-terminal connections provide secure wiring for industrial power-factor correction and reactive-power compensation equipment.

Reliable Capacitor-Bank Switching
Capacitor contactors are designed to switch capacitive loads used for reactive-power compensation and power-factor correction. These applications can produce significant transient currents when capacitor stages are energised, requiring a contactor specifically selected for the characteristics of the capacitor bank.
The ABB UA series provides application-specific switching for capacitor installations. The built-in auxiliary contact can support signalling or control-system interlocking, while the block construction enables straightforward integration into automatic power-factor correction panels.
Typical Applications
Automatic power-factor correction panels.
Three-phase capacitor banks.
Reactive-power compensation systems.
Industrial electrical distribution panels.
Commercial building power-factor correction.
Manufacturing and process-plant electrical systems.
