The AF38-30-00-14: The 30.8 A rating at 250 V defines the continuous current-carrying capacity of the main poles under AC-1 (resistive load) conditions. For motor switching (AC-3 duty), the usable current will be lower — typically around 20–25 A for a contactor of this frame size — so verify the motor FLA against the contactor's AC-3 rating curve before committing the BOM line.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy AF38-30-00-14?
This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commitment.
What is the closest functional second-source to AF38-30-00-14?
The ABB AF40N2-30-11-11 is a functional peer at 0.46 kg with a similar 3-pole contactor footprint, but it includes one normally-open and one normally-closed auxiliary contact built in. If your panel design relies on those auxiliary contacts, the AF40N2-30-11-11 is a drop-in alternative without needing a separate block; otherwise the AF38-30-00-14 is the correct base unit.
Will AF38-30-00-14 drop into a panel specified around AF40N2-30-11-11 without rewiring?
The two share the same frame size and weight (0.45 vs 0.46 kg), so the physical mounting and main power connections are compatible. The difference is auxiliary contacts: AF40N2-30-11-11 has built-in NO+NC auxiliaries, while AF38-30-00-14 has none. If your circuit uses those aux contacts, you must add a separate auxiliary block or rewire the control logic.
