Presentation, standards Standard contactors TeSys GC Presentation TeSys GC contactors are designed for use in modular panels and enclosures. These contactors feature: b Easy installation v quick clip-on fi xing and locking onto mm omega rail, v easy connection by means of ready-to-tighten, captive, pozidrive screw terminals. GC b Compact size All units have a common depth of 0 mm and width in modules of. mm (width of one module:. mm). b User safety v use of materials conforming to strictest fi re safety standards, v live parts protected against direct fi nger contact, v completely safe operation, v state indication on front panel. Standards This range of modular contactors has been designed taking into account the requirements of international standard IEC 0. This standard is specifi c to Electromagnetic contactors for domestic and similar use. It has very strict requirements, meeting the expectations of users, with regard to the safety of equipment and persons in premises and areas accessible to the public. Conformity with this standard makes it possible to obtain the following quality labels without the need for additional tests: NF-USE, VDE, CEBEC, etc. Applications TeSys GC modular contactors are designed for switching all single-phase, -phase or -phase loads up to 00 A. Power switching These contactors have multiple applications in industrial, agricultural and commercial premises, hospitals and the home, i.e. wherever switching of a specifi c supply is required: b lighting, b heating, b ventilation, b motorised shutters or gates. 0 pages 000/ to 000/ pages 000/ and 000/ pages 000/ and 000/ pages 000/ and 000/ 000-EN_Ver.0
Setting-up precautions Standard contactors TeSys GC Setting-up precautions The contactor controls must be bounce free. If not, connect a coil suppression block (GAP, or ) across the coil terminals y 0 V. When several contactors which operate at the same time are mounted side by side, a GAC ventilation / module must be fi tted every contactors. It is advisable to mount electronic units at the bottom of the modular panel and to separate them from electromechanical units by a space equal to one module, or by ventilation / modules (GAC ).
