30A Electrically Held Lighting Contactor

ABB CR463L20ANA is a CR463L electrically held lighting contactor designed for dependable lighting and control circuit switching in commercial and industrial applications.

The CR463L series is a 30A standard assembled contactor platform available in 2- through 12-pole configurations, with modular power poles that allow multiple circuit combinations.

Key Features

• CR463L electrically held lighting contactor
• 30A rated contacts
• 2-pole standard assembled form
• Contact position indication; protruding button indicates closed contact
• Manual operator for service and testing
• Convenient side-access field power wiring
• Fast, secure three-point mounting
• Easy-change coil with quick-view coil voltage
• Low magnetic noise for quiet operation
• Finger and back-of-hand safe power terminals

Ratings & Configuration

Power poles are rated 30A for general contactor applications, 15A motor rated, and A600 pilot duty rated.

Robust pole terminals accept up to two #8 AWG wires and use combination slotted/#2 Phillips screws.

The CR463L platform uses a standard base for all pole configurations, with single and double power poles available to create multiple circuit combinations.

Construction Details

Enclosed contacts help resist contaminants for improved reliability in demanding electrical environments.

Common power poles can be changed from normally open to normally closed, or from normally closed to normally open, by unlatching and rotating the pole 180°.

A contact configuration indicator and easy-to-read rating label help simplify installation, inspection, and maintenance.

Auxiliary Contact Details

Optional plug-in auxiliary contacts are rated A600 and are suitable for low-level circuits down to 12V, 5mA.

Auxiliary contacts are normally open when installed on the left side of the base and normally closed when installed on the right side.

Typical Applications

Ideal for lighting control, control panels, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses, schools, retail spaces, and other systems requiring electrically held contactor operation.

Important Notes

Catalog number CR463L20ANA is also listed by ABB as 463L20ANA.

This model is an open contactor and may require a separate enclosure depending on the installation environment.

Confirm coil voltage, contact arrangement, enclosure requirements, and load rating before installation.
