Overview

TeSys Control-Giga contactors are high power contactors (up to 800 A AC-3 or 1050 A AC-1) for AC/DC motor applications and AC/DC load applications. They can be used up to 1000 Vac power voltage and up to 460 Vdc power voltage.

They are available with 3 main poles or 4 main poles that have the same width and the same pole pitch as the associated Schneider Electric circuit breaker.

They can be supplied either by AC or DC control voltage and has the built-in surge suppressors. They can operate with a wide control voltage band. If they are supplied by DC control voltage, there is no need to respect the polarity.

They embed diagnosis functions as contact wear diagnosis or control voltage diagnosis. They are delivered with one auxiliary contact module of two auxiliary contacts (1 NO + 1 NC) with push-in terminals. The auxiliary NC contact mirrors the state of the main poles and the auxiliary NO contact is mechanically linked to the NC auxiliary contact.

There are two versions of contactors:

• Tesys Giga Contactors – Advanced Version
• Tesys Giga Contactors – Standard Version

  • Standard contactor for general application

  • Standard contactor for railway application

Tesys Giga Contactors – Advanced Version

The specific mechanical design of the advanced contactor allows contactor maintenance without removing the power circuit connections.

On advanced contactors, the advanced control module controls the contactor by A1-A2 terminals or by X1-X2-X3 PLC inputs terminals. The X1-X2-X3 terminals directly controls the contactor by high density PLC solid output without an interposing relay.

They can operate with 24-48, 48-130, or 200-500 Vac/Vdc control voltage ranges. All control terminals are removable and use push-in technology. The advanced control module is compatible with the optional Remote Wear Diagnosis (RWD) module.

Tesys Giga Contactors – Standard Version for General Application

On standard contactors, the standard control module controls the contactor by A1-A2 terminals. They can operate with 48-130, or 100-250 Vac/Vdc control voltage ranges. The A1-A2 terminals are removable and use push-in technology.

Tesys Giga Contactors – Standard Version for Railway Application S207

Standard contactors with commercial references ending with S207N are dedicated to railway applications.

The standard control module controls the contactor by A1-A2 terminals. They can operate with 48-130 Vac/Vdc control voltage range only. The A1-A2 terminals are removable and use push-in technology.
