Overview
The Schneider Electric GVAN11 is a TeSys auxiliary contact block designed for GV2 and GV3 manual starters and protectors. With its side-mount configuration and compact footprint, the GVAN11 adds auxiliary contact capability to motor control circuits while maintaining the original starter dimensions. This block is ideal for applications requiring remote indication, electrical interlocking, relay activation, or alarm signaling.
Key Features
- 1NO + 1NC contact configuration: Provides both normally open (43/44) and normally closed (31/32) contacts for versatile circuit control
- Side-mount design: Attaches to the left side without increasing height or depth of the manual starter
- Screw clamp terminals: Accepts solid wire (1–2.5 mm²) and flexible wire (0.75–2.5 mm²), with optional cable lugs for 0.75–1.5 mm² flexible wire
- Rated for 6A at 690V AC / 240V DC: Handles both high-voltage AC and DC control circuits
- 100,000 mechanical cycle durability: Tested and proven for reliable long-term operation
- Multi-standard certifications: IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, and EAC approved; RoHS/REACH compliant
Technical Specifications
The GVAN11 meets demanding industrial standards and integrates seamlessly into GV-series motor control systems.
Typical Applications
- Remote status indication via pilot lights when manual starters trip
- Electrical interlocking to cut control voltage to downstream contactors
- Relay or contactor activation based on starter state
- Alarm and signaling circuits in motor control panels
- Motor protection feedback and monitoring systems
