Why Choose the ABB UA50-30-00-85 Capacitor Contactor?
The ABB UA50-30-00-85 is a specialised three-pole capacitor switching contactor designed for reliable control of capacitor banks in power factor correction systems. As part of the robust ABB UA capacitor contactor series, it is engineered to manage high inrush currents during capacitor switching while providing dependable performance in industrial electrical installations.
This contactor is specifically developed for switching capacitor loads rather than standard motor applications. The UA series uses a block-type design with dedicated switching technology that helps limit the effects of capacitor charging currents, improving system reliability and extending operational life in power compensation equipment.
With a rated reactive power capability of 33 kvar at 400 V AC and a 380–400 V AC 50 Hz / 400–415 V AC 60 Hz control coil, the ABB UA50-30-00-85 is ideal for automatic power factor correction panels, industrial capacitor banks and electrical distribution systems.
