Technical Parameters
Parameter Category Specification
Product Series / Family ABB G-H Series High-Performance Contactors
Device Type 3-Pole AC Power Contactor (Definite Purpose)
Standard Compliance IEC/EN 60947-4-1, IEC/EN 60947-1
Rated Operational Voltage (Ue) Up to 690 V AC, 50/60 Hz
Rated Insulation Voltage (Ui) 1000 V AC
Rated Operational Current (Ie) at AC-3 200 A (This is the key rating indicated by 202 in the model number: 200A frame). Note: Actual continuous current depends on thermal conditions, load category, and duty cycle.
Control Coil Voltage (Us) Various AC Voltages (e.g., 24V, 48V, 110V, 230V, 400V, 500V AC, 50/60 Hz). The AC in the model name specifies an AC-operated coil. DC coil versions are GSH202 DC.
Utilization Categories
• AC-3 Squirrel-cage motor: Starting, switching off during running. Typical rating: 200 A at 400V.
• AC-4 Squirrel-cage motor: Starting, plugging, inching. (Rating is significantly lower, e.g., ~75 A).
• AC-1 Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads.
• AC-2 Slip-ring motors.
Rated Making/Breaking Capacity
• Making Capacity (Icm) Up to 2000 A (peak, at 415V AC, cos φ=0.35) for high inrush currents.
• Breaking Capacity (Icu/Ics) Icu (Ultimate): Typically 15-20 kA at 415V AC.
Ics (Service): Typically a percentage of Icu (e.g., 75%).
Mechanical & Electrical Life
• Mechanical Durability 10 - 20 million operations (minimum, depends on conditions).
• Electrical Durability (AC-3) 1.0 - 2.0 million operations at full rated load (200A, 400V).
Power Consumption
• Pick-up (Inrush) Power ~1800 VA (typical for AC coil).
• Holding (Sealed) Power ~30 VA (typical, energy-efficient design).
Auxiliary Contacts Modular add-on blocks available, typically 2 NO + 2 NC per block, up to several blocks. Rated: 10A, 600V AC.
Terminals Screw-clamp terminals suitable for large cross-section cables (e.g., up to 185 mm²). Some versions may have busbar connections.
Mounting Mounts on a flat surface or panel via foot mounts or snap-on DIN rail adapter (optional).
