Technical Parameters Parameter Category Specification Product Series G-H Series High-Performance Contactors Device Type 3-Pole AC Power Contactor Standard Compliance IEC/EN 60947-4-1, IEC/EN 60947-1 Main Circuit Ratings • 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-3 100 A (This is the typical rating for the GSH201 frame at 400V. 201 denotes the 100A frame size). Control Coil • Coil Type AC Operated (Indicated by C in -C20). • Coil Voltage Code The 20 in -C20 likely specifies a standard AC voltage. Common assignments: -C20 often corresponds to 230V AC, 50/60 Hz. (Critical Note: This must be verified with the official ABB catalog as coding can vary by region and production year.) Utilization Categories • AC-3 Squirrel-cage motors: Starting, switching off during running. Typical rating: 100 A at 400V. • AC-4 Squirrel-cage motors: Starting, plugging, inching. Rating is significantly lower (e.g., ~40-50A). • AC-1 Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads. Switching Capacity • Rated Making Capacity (Icm) Typically 1000 A (peak) at 415V AC, for handling motor inrush currents. • Rated Breaking Capacity (Icu) Typically 10-15 kA at 415V AC (with appropriate short-circuit backup protection). Endurance • Mechanical Life ≥ 10 million operations. • Electrical Life (AC-3) ≥ 1 million operations at full rated load. Power Consumption (Coil) • Pick-up (Inrush) ~1000 VA (typical for AC coil). • Holding (Sealed) ~20 VA (typical, energy-efficient design). Auxiliary Contacts Modular auxiliary contact blocks can be added (e.g., 2 NO + 2 NC). Rated typically 10A, 600V AC. Terminals Screw-clamp terminals suitable for large cable cross-sections. Mounting Can be foot-mounted on a panel or using a DIN rail adapter (optional). Ambient Temperature Operating: -25°C to +60°C (with derating above 40°C). Protection Degree IP00 (open type), must be installed in an enclosure. Approximate Dimensions ~ 155mm (L) x 130mm (W) x 120mm (H) (varies with accessories). Approximate Weight ~ 2.5 kg (base unit). Key Features • High electrical and mechanical endurance • Modular design for auxiliary contacts • Energy-saving AC magnet system • Transient suppression for AC coils • Contact position indicator
