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.
