Construction Details
The CR463L20ANA is part of ABB's CR463L electrically held lighting contactor family. The CR463L platform uses a standard modular base with replaceable power poles, allowing the contact configuration to be adapted for compatible applications.
This model provides two normally open power poles. ABB's CR463L design includes contact-position indication, convenient side access for field power wiring, a manual operator, enclosed contacts, and an easy-change coil.
The power terminals are designed to accept up to two #8 AWG conductors, while the modular power poles can be changed between normally open and normally closed configurations on compatible assemblies by repositioning the pole according to ABB instructions.
Lighting Contactor Features
30A Power Contacts
The CR463L contactor platform uses power poles rated at 30A for compatible lighting-control applications.
2 Normally Open Poles
CR463L20ANA is supplied with two normally open power contacts for switching compatible electrical loads.
277V AC Coil
This catalog-number configuration uses a 277V AC operating coil. Confirm that the available control voltage matches the contactor coil before installation.
Electrically Held Operation
Continuous Coil Operation
As an electrically held contactor, the operating coil remains energized while the contactor is commanded into its electrically held operating state.
Lighting Control
The contactor provides centralized switching for compatible lighting circuits and other loads permitted by the manufacturer's ratings.
CR463L Modular Power Pole Design
ABB's CR463L lighting contactor platform uses modular power poles that support multiple pole and contact arrangements. The standard CR463L family supports configurations ranging from 2 through 12 poles.
The modular design allows compatible power poles to be serviced or reconfigured while maintaining the standard contactor base. Always follow ABB instructions when changing a power-pole configuration.
