Why Choose the ABB UA50-30-00RA Capacitor Duty Contactor?

The ABB 1SBL351024R8600 is a robust and reliable capacitor duty contactor designed specifically for switching capacitor banks in industrial power factor correction systems. As part of the ABB UA50-30-00RA capacitor switching contactor series, it is engineered to handle high inrush currents associated with capacitor energisation while providing dependable performance in demanding electrical installations.

This contactor includes integrated damping resistors that help limit peak currents when capacitor banks are energised. The UA series uses a block contactor design with three main poles and is supplied ready for capacitor switching applications without the need for additional inductances.

With a 400–415 V AC coil supply at 50 Hz, 415–440 V AC at 60 Hz, a three-pole main contact configuration and a capacitor switching capability of approximately 40 kvar at 400–415 V AC, the ABB UA50-30-00RA is ideal for automatic power factor correction systems and industrial capacitor bank control.
