Schneider Electric Contactor, 250V AC Contact Voltage Rating, Screw Terminals - TeSys GC Series - GC4020M5

When you've got slightly inductive loads that need turning on and off safely, switch over to this contactor from Schneider Electric. Built and tested to meet utilisation category AC-7a and rated for currents of 40A, you can be sure it handles heating and lighting controls, as well as domestic appliances such as kitchen blenders. The contactor's compact width of 36mm means you'll have no problem squeezing it onto a crowded panel. As a modular contactor, it's easy to integrate into your system and is controllable by a remote device such as a timer or switch.

Features & Benefits

• Quiet operation means it won't cause a distraction in homes and public buildings

• Electrical lifespan of 100,000 cycles to deliver reliably long service

• Wide operating temperature range between -5°C and +50°C for use in demanding environments

Applications

• Residential buildings

• Public amenities

• HVAC equipment

• Domestic appliances

• Smart lighting systems

Does this contactor operate quickly?

Yes. With a closing and opening time between 10 and 30ms, this contactor gets to work quickly. As it can handle 300 cycles per hour at +50°C, it has no trouble keeping pace with fast-paced and repetitive processes in hot conditions.

Schneider Electric TeSys GC Modular Contactors

TeSys GC Modular Contactors from Schneider Electric provides power switching in single phase, 3 or 4-phase loads. TeSys GC is a range of contactors that are safe, simple to use, and easy to install. The devices are compact in size and suitable for use in a wide variety of applications.

Features and Benefits

• Built-in auxiliary contacts for added switching capability

• Screw connections: IP20 finger-safe terminals with both North American and International terminal markings

• Can be panel mounted with screws or DIN Rail mounted

• Impulse relay function

• Day-night function

• Class-2 insulation: continuous safety for operators and unqualified personnel

What does the utilisation category AC1 and AC3 mean for the TeSys contactors?

Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions. ;AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.;AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running.;Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.

Is the TeSys GC range a double break pole type contactor?

Yes the Tesys GC range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.

Schneider Electric Modular Contactors

Low noise a.c. compact modular contactors and accessories are ideal for heating lighting and building service type applications. The units are designed for mounting in control panels or cabinets on symmetrical DIN rail or they may be housed in modular enclosures.
