ABB AX185-30-11-80 Block Contactors
The ABB AX185-30-11-80 is a block contactor designed for electrical control circuits in industrial and commercial installations. It suits electricians and maintenance engineers who need reliable switching for motor starters or power distribution panels. The unit carries a red finish and is supplied as a single pack in a box.
Installation and common issues
The contactor mounts on a standard DIN rail or base plate using the integrated fixing points. Wiring connects to clearly marked main and auxiliary terminals; the coil accepts 50 Hz 220 ... 230 V and 60 Hz 230 ... 240 V control voltage. A frequent mistake is applying a coil voltage outside the stated range or exceeding the 3600 cycles per hour mechanical switching limit, which reduces the 5 million operation mechanical durability.
Pre-order checks
Verify that your control circuit supplies either 50 Hz at 220 ... 230 V or 60 Hz at 230 ... 240 V to match the coil operating limits defined at 70 °C. Confirm the installation can accommodate the rated impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV. Ensure the application does not require a switching frequency higher than 3600 cycles per hour.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the AX185-30-11-80 contactor is working correctly after installation?
Confirm the coil energises at 50 Hz 220…230 V or 60 Hz 230…240 V, listen for clean contact closure, and check that the impulse withstand rating of 8 kV is not exceeded during switching.
What does the box contain and what must I source separately?
The package supplies one ABB AX185-30-11-80 block contactor in a red finish; mounting hardware, wiring, and any required DIN rail or enclosure are not included.
Which coil-voltage version should I select for a 50 Hz 230 V control circuit?
Choose the standard model rated for 50 Hz 220…230 V and 60 Hz 230…240 V; it covers the 230 V 50 Hz requirement directly.
