MacGregor. Keeping turnarounds brief.
Until the AF range was installed, voltage sags were affecting MacGregor's deck cranes.
Conventional contactors welded shut, leading to several stoppages a week. No longer. Known for superior quality and an ability
to operate in the most hostile environments, MacGregor deck cranes enjoy a global reputation for reliability. A small but vital
component, the AF contactor helps maintain this reputation.
To keep things moving, you need Control. Connect to Control.

Access Global Support
The contactor and motor protection range from ABB is com-
patible with all major national and international standards and
is available worldwide via a global distribution network. One
contactor coil now handles 100 V – 250 V, AC / DC for use in
Europe or Asia as well as North America.
Simplify design
By reducing contactor coil energy consumption by up to
80%, panels can be built smaller and transformers more
compact. All the features of the AF technology, along with
access to drawings and coordination tables online, simplifies
your design and assembly process.
Optimize logistics
With its contactor and motor protection range, ABB has
managed to reduce the number of contactor coils to just four.
The total number of product variants has been reduced by
up to 90 %. This simplifies the customers' logistics and cuts
administration costs.
Secure uptime
Time to prevent stoppages caused by voltage fluctuations.
The AF contactor ensures distinct operation in unstable
networks and signifies a major advance in motor control and
power switching. Voltage sags, dips and surges pose no
threat. The AF contactor secures your uptime.
Featuring AF technology as standard, the latest range of
ABB's contactors establishes a new industry benchmark.
The electronically controlled coil offers multiple benefits over
conventional alternatives, and together with ABB's wide
product offering – an optimal configuration, every time.
