Product details

What the 32.2 A rating means for your motor circuit

The ABB AF38Z-30-22-20 is a 3-pole contactor rated at 32.2 A — that's the continuous current the main contacts can carry in AC-1 duty (resistive loads). For motor starting (AC-3), the same contactor handles the locked-rotor inrush during acceleration and then settles to the running current, so the 32.2 A figure is your ceiling for the full-load amps of the motor it switches.

Panel fit and what to check before wiring

This is a DIN-rail-mount contactor from ABB's AF38Z series, sized for control panels where you need a compact 3-pole block. The 32.2 A rating puts it in the range for small to medium motor loads — think conveyors, pumps, or fans up to about 15 kW at 400 V. The coil voltage and auxiliary contact configuration (the "30-22-20" suffix) determine the control wiring; confirm those match your PLC output or control relay before you land the power wires.
