Modular contactors from Schneider Electric TeSys GC can switch single-phase, three-phase, or four-phase loads. The TeSys GC series contactors are safe, easy to use, and simple to install. These devices, with their compact dimensions, 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, marked for both North American and international standards
• Panel mountable with screws or DIN rail mounting
• Pulse relay function
• Day/Night function
• Insulation Class 2: continuous safety for operators and third parties

The utilization categories AC1 and AC3 for TeSys contactors define the power generation and disconnection values based on the type of load being controlled and the operating cycle conditions.

• AC-1: Applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example application: resistive load, heating, distribution.
• AC-3: Applies to squirrel cage motors that are braked during motor operation. Example applications: all squirrel cage motors, elevators, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning systems.

The contactors of the TeSys GC series utilize a linear translational movement that results in double pole separation.
