300-line contactor

High performance with simplified maintenance

Several features combine to make the 300-line contactor a high-performance unit

that is easy to inspect and maintain.

• All line and load terminals on NEMA size 00. 0 and 1 starters can accommodate ring, spade

and stripped-wire terminations

• Tool-less disassembly for sizes 00–4

• Terminal numbering is permanently stamped

• NEMA size 00–1 terminals are staggered for easy termination

• In-line, stripped-wire connections are standard for NEMA size 2–6 starters

• Ring terminal options available for sizes 2–5

• Optional terminals available on NEMA size 1–4 starters to permit easy connection of power

factor correction capacitors for energy conservation

• NEMA size 1 starters and larger feature weld-resistant silver alloy contact tips

• Contacts have a wedge-shaped configuration for positive make with minimum bounce

• Size 00. 0 and 1 contacts can be easily changed from normally open to normally closed without

additional parts

• The magnet provides long life and is specially treated to resist rust

• Molded coil is impervious to moisture, dirt and oil and is highly resistant to mechanical damage and

high-humidity failure

• Retaining clips engage detents encapsulated in the coil to hold it securely in place

The 300-line contactor provides easy disassembly in sizes 00–6:

• Lift off the armature to allow quick inspection and ready access to contacts

• Pull the spring clip from the armature to access the coil

• No need to remove any wiring!

• Inspect and change out contacts without removing any wires, or removing the

starter from the enclosure

Two options for motor protection

• Three-leg block overload relays feature dual bimetal overload protection and

adjustable ±10% trip current for added flexibility

• Solid-state overload relays provide added motor protection for critical processes,

feature selectable 10/20/30 trip class for application flexibility and surface-mount

technology for increased reliability

Largest selection of modification and accessory kits

• Cost-effective solutions

• Allows for application and configuration flexibility

• Kits include auxiliary contacts, coils, surge-suppression, fifth-pole, mechanical  interlocks,

control circuit fusing, NEMA type enclosures, selector switches, indicating lights, control

transformers, space heaters and more

300-line Industry-leading full voltage motor control

The 300-line of NEMA-rated controls offers dependability and long-term  performance for the

most demanding industrial installations. And with all the options available, 

you can match the 300-line to your toughest applications.

Simplicity and durability are key to the 300-line.

The unique design allows for contact inspection or coil change-outs in just seconds, and contact

replacement in a matter of minutes. There’s no need to use tools to remove the starter or

contactor from the enclosure, or to remove control or power wires.

ABB Ability Symphony Plus SDe introduces a space-fit solution that allows for incremental,  in

place upgrades. This method retains existing infrastructure such as cabinets, cables, and field

wiring, significantly reducing downtime and environmental impact by minimizing hardware

waste. The focus is on replacing or upgrading only the components that add direct value, such as

controllers and I/O modules, which also helps in reducing power consumption and enhancing

energy efficiency.

The transition to a modern Ethernet-based communication backbone in place of proprietary

systems further future-proofs plants, facilitating easier upgrades and integration with other

enterprise systems. This network-centric approach allows for more flexible and scalable plant

operations, adapting to changing needs without extensive re-engineering.

By adopting these innovative solutions, industrial plants achieve a more manageable and cost-

effective upgrade process, maintaining control over their life cycle planning, minimizing risks, and

ensuring continuous improvement in operational efficiency and compliance. This strategy not only

protects the plants’ investments in automation but also aligns with broader sustainability and

efficiency goals.

Executive summary

Aging automation systems pose significant challenges for industrial plant managers

due to their inability to keep up with technological advancements, leading to inefficiencies,

increased unplanned maintenance costs, and heightened risk of compliance issues.

Traditionally, upgrading these systems involved a costly and disruptive “rip and replace” approach.

However, a more sustainable and cost-effective strategy is now available through modular, phased

upgrades, emphasizing minimal operational disruption.

analog input field signals. Each channel is independently

configurable for any of the supported high-level signal ranges.

FC 221 (I/O Device Definition) sets AI module operating

parameters, and each input channel is configured using FC 222

(Analog Input CH) to set individual input channel parameters such

as engineering units, High/Low alarm limits, etc.

The analog input channels are 1 x 16 group isolated and support

HART.
