230 A across-the-line switching for motor loads
The ABB A145-30-00-84 is a 3-pole non-reversing contactor rated for 230 A continuous operation, with a 120 VAC coil and no auxiliary contacts. It is designed for across-the-line motor starting and general switching of resistive and inductive loads up to 1000 V. Maximum breaking capacity is 1200 A at 690 V and 1500 A at 440 V, giving headroom for fault clearing in motor circuits without upstream coordination changes.
Lifecycle status and sourcing posture
For a pin-compatible replacement, review the ABB A-line contactor family for a similar frame size and coil voltage.
Mechanical endurance and termination
Rated for 5 million mechanical cycles, the contactor suits high-cycle applications like conveyor or pump control where contactor life is a maintenance interval driver. Main terminals accept 6 AWG to 250 kcmil wire; auxiliary terminals accept 18–14 AWG. Tightening torque is 160 in-lb on the main power connections.
