Modular contactors from Schneider Electric TeSys GC. These contactors can switch single-phase, three-phase, or four-phase loads. The TeSys GC series contactors are safe, easy to use, and simple to install. With their compact dimensions, these devices are suitable for a wide range of applications.

Features and Benefits:

• Integrated auxiliary contacts for additional switching capacity
• Screw connections: terminals with finger protection according to IP20, with both North American and international terminal markings
• Panel mountable with screws or DIN rail mounting
• Pulse relay function
• Day/Night function
• Insulation Class 2: continuous safety for operators and third parties

What do the usage categories AC1 and AC3 mean for TeSys contactors?
Contactor usage categories define the current generation and disconnection values based on the type of load being controlled and the operating cycle conditions.
AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Application example: resistive load, heating, distribution.
AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors that are braked during motor operation. Application examples: all squirrel cage motors, elevators, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning systems.

Are the contactors in the TeSys GC series contactors with double pole separation?
Yes, the TeSys GC series uses a linear translational movement that results in double pole separation.
