The ABB CA5-10 is a 1-pole front mounted auxiliary contact block designed for direct attachment to compatible ABB contactors and motor starters. Onboard marine vessels, auxiliary contact blocks perform a critical role within motor control centres, main switchboards, and automation panels — providing contactor status feedback, interlocking signals, and control circuit monitoring. Compliant with IEC 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-1, the CA5-10 is built to the international standards governing low-voltage control switchgear, making it suitable for the rigorous electrical environments found aboard commercial and offshore vessels. This listing is supplied as a lot of 2 units, providing an efficient solution for spares inventory or dual-installation requirements.
Key Features
✓ 1-pole front mounting design for direct fitment to compatible ABB contactor series
✓ Rated insulation voltage UI = 690V~ for integration into marine medium-voltage distribution and control circuits
✓ Conventional thermal current ITH = 16A — verify against installation requirements prior to fitment
✓ Fully compliant with IEC 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-1 international control switchgear standards
✓ Supplied as a lot of 2 units, supporting spares planning and back-to-back replacement schedules
Marine Applications
Motor Control Centres (MCCs) aboard cargo vessels, tankers, and offshore platforms requiring reliable contactor status signalling
Main and emergency switchboard interlocking circuits where contactor position feedback is essential for safe operation
Pump, fan, compressor, and auxiliary machinery motor starter assemblies in engine room automation systems
SCADA and PLC-based control panels requiring discrete input signals from contactor auxiliary contacts
Retrofit and upgrade programmes replacing aging or obsolete auxiliary contact blocks within existing ABB contactor installations
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The ABB CA5-10 is a well-established component within ABB’s contactor accessory range, trusted for consistent performance and straightforward front-mount installation. Its compliance with IEC/EN 60947-5-1 aligns with the standards referenced by classification societies and system integrators, simplifying documentation and approval processes for onboard electrical work.
Ideal For
Cargo vessels, bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, offshore supply vessels, platform supply vessels (PSVs), dredgers, ferries, and any commercial or industrial marine application requiring ABB-compatible auxiliary contact blocks for motor control or switchgear interlocking.
Technical Support & Compliance
Our team provides complete technical support for this component, including remote troubleshooting, onboard installation assistance, testing and commissioning support, repair assessment, retrofit and upgrade guidance, and integration support for existing ABB contactor systems. Compatibility with your specific contactor model, panel configuration, or control system is subject to confirmation — please share nameplate photographs, part numbers, wiring drawings, system model and version details, vessel name, and IMO number where available so we can verify fitment and advise accordingly.
