ABB AF09ZB-22-00RT-23 4-Pole Contactor for Railway Applications, 100-250V 50/60Hz, Compliant with IEC and EN Standards, Energy Efficient Design with Built-in Surge Protection

The ABB AF09ZB-22-00RT-23 af09zb 100-250v50/60hz-d is a state-of-the-art 4-pole contactor designed to meet the rigorous demands of railway rolling stock applications. Engineered for installation in passenger or driver cabins, this contactor is ideal for trains frequently operating in tunnels or underground environments. It excels in controlling non-inductive or slightly inductive loads and is suitable for power circuits up to 690 V AC and 440 V DC. Its compact design allows for side-by-side mounting, reducing installation width by 15% without spacing, and it operates efficiently in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C. Compliant with key railway standards such as IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-5-1, IEC 60077-1/-2, and EN 50155, the AF09ZB-22-00RT-23 withstands shocks and vibrations as per IEC 61373 cat. 1, class B. It also meets the highest fire and smoke safety standards, conforming to EN 45545-2 (HL2, HL3 hazard levels). This contactor is designed to reduce energy consumption, requiring 68% less coil energy during operation, and features an electronic coil interface that handles large DC voltage fluctuations. It supports a wide range of DC control voltages, including battery supplies, and accommodates AC 50/60 Hz control supplies within the Ucmin to Ucmax voltage range. The AF09ZB-22-00RT-23 is equipped with Ring-Tongue Terminals and can control motors up to 4 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3), switching power circuits up to 25 A (AC-1) or 25 A UL general use. The AF technology ensures a wide control voltage range (100-250 V 50/60 Hz and DC), managing voltage variations and reducing panel energy consumption. Built-in surge protection offers a compact and reliable solution. The contactor's block type design allows for easy extension with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and a variety of accessories, making it a versatile choice for modern railway applications.
