A-Line Connection System Return to eViewer Menu

A-Line Connection System

ABB's large A-Line Contactors are the result of an in-depth analysis of customer requirements. Optimizing the mechanical, electrical and aesthetic design was key to producing the A-Line system concept that provides a new generation of coordinated, close-coupled low voltage products.

  • Contactors are coordinated with the ABB molded case circuit breakers, disconnect switches and overload relays
  • Provides designers, panel builders and end users with the best performance, reliability and flexibility.
  • Pre-assembled connections bar kits allow the close-coupling of ABB components to save space, assembly material, installation time and minimizes cabling.
  • The new design of the large A-line contactors, places the magnet at the top of the unit and the main contact system at the bottom. This design provides a number of advantages over previous designs:
«   Easy connection between the contactor and other system components because the terminals are at the same level.
«   All connections to the control circuits are easily accessible from the front which facilitates installation and measurement.
«   Not necessary to remove power cables for inspection and maintenance.
«   Electrical operation of the contactor is impossible during contact inspection since the magnet system is removed with the front section.
«   Low, built-in terminals and the option of terminal shrouds give you a touch-safe solution.
«   NEMA, UL, IEC, CSA, VDE approved international standards
