Key Features

1
Feature1. Compliance with Railway Standards The AF38ZB-30-00RT-22 meets the latest railway rolling stock standards, including IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-5-1, IEC 60077-1/-2, and applicable parts of EN 50155. This ensures it can be installed in passengers or driver cabins for trains frequently operating in tunnels or undergrounds.
2
Feature2. Compact Installation This contactor is designed to improve the compactness of installations. It requires less than 15% width without spacing, making it ideal for side-by-side mounting. This reduces the overall footprint of the installation, enhancing space efficiency.
3
Feature3. High Reliability and Efficiency The AF38ZB-30-00RT-22 is designed to control 3-phase motors and power circuits up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC. It reduces train energy consumption by requiring 68% less coil energy in operation, making it a reliable and efficient choice for industrial applications.
