ABB sets a new standard in motor
control and power switching

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.

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.
