ABB AF16-30-10-13 16A 3-Pole DC Contactor 100-250V
The ABB AF16-30-10-13 is a 16A 3-pole contactor with a wide-range coil for 100–250V AC/DC operation. Part of ABB’s versatile AF series, it is suitable for motor starting, control circuits, and automation switching in UAE industrial panels where a single contactor must work across different supply voltages.
Key Features
- 16A AC-3 rating for motor and power switching applications
- Wide-range coil: 100–250V AC/DC — eliminates multiple stocking variants
- 3-pole main contacts with 1 NO auxiliary contact
- DIN rail mounting for standard panel installation

FAQ
-
What does this contactor control?
It's an electrically-operated switch used to make/break a load circuit repeatedly under remote or automatic control — commonly lighting banks, motors, HVAC equipment, or heating loads switched via a timer, BMS, or control relay.
-
Does this need a separate overload relay for motor protection?
Yes, if it's controlling a motor — a contactor alone doesn't protect against sustained overload. Pair it with a compatible thermal overload relay (see ABB's matching TF/TA-series relays) to form a full motor starter.
-
Can I control this contactor with a timer or BMS?
Yes — the coil is designed for remote switching from a timer, PLC, BMS, or control relay rather than direct manual operation, making it suited to automated load switching.
-
Can I install this myself?
No. Contactors are wired into live control and power circuits and must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with UAE wiring regulations.
