Why Choose the ABB AFS30Z-30-22-30 Safety Contactor?
The ABB AFS30Z-30-22-30 is a compact three-pole safety contactor designed for use in machine-safety monitoring and control circuits. As part of the ABB AFS contactor range, it features mechanically linked and mirror contacts that provide reliable contact-state feedback for safety-related control systems.
This contactor has a dedicated low-consumption 24 V DC electronic coil suitable for direct control by PLC outputs rated at 250 mA or above. Integrated surge suppression protects the control circuit, while the fixed front-mounted auxiliary contact block has a protective cover that prevents manual operation.
With an AC-3 operational current rating of 32 A at 400 V and a motor rating of 15 kW at 400 V, the AFS30Z-30-22-30 supports dependable switching in industrial machinery. Its three normally open main contacts and fixed 2 NO + 2 NC auxiliary contacts provide the switching and monitoring configuration required for safety-control applications.

Reliable Switching for Machine-Safety Systems
Safety contactors such as the ABB AFS30Z-30-22-30 combine power switching with reliable contact-state monitoring. Mechanically linked and mirror auxiliary contacts help safety controllers verify the position of the main contacts and detect an incorrect switching state.
The permanently fixed auxiliary contact block, protective cover and yellow housing support correct identification and help prevent unauthorised manual operation. The low-consumption electronic coil and built-in surge suppression also simplify direct integration with compatible PLC and safety-control outputs.
Typical Applications
- Machine emergency-stop circuits.
- Safety-gate and guard-monitoring systems.
- Industrial motor isolation and shutdown circuits.
- Conveyors and automated production machinery.
- Safety PLC-controlled installations.
- Industrial control panels requiring monitored contactor feedback.
