Schneider Electric GVAN20 Auxiliary Contact Block, 2NO, Side Mounted

The Schneider Electric GVAN20 is a side-mounted auxiliary contact block engineered for seamless integration with TeSys GV2 and GV3 motor circuit breakers. This component features 2 normally open (NO) contacts, serving as a critical interface for monitoring the operational status of motor protection systems. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments, facilitating precise feedback within electrical control circuits.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the GVAN20 is its ability to provide real-time status indication of the connected circuit breaker, which is essential for effective system diagnostics and automation. Its side-mounting configuration allows for space-efficient installation, making it an ideal choice for compact control panels where internal space is limited. The high-quality construction from Schneider Electric guarantees long-term durability and consistent electrical connectivity, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Suitable for

• Monitoring the ON/OFF status of motor circuit breakers
• Integration into automated industrial control systems
• Remote signaling of circuit breaker positions
• Electrical protection circuits in manufacturing environments

When it may not be suitable

This auxiliary contact block is specifically designed for use with the TeSys GV2 and GV3 series. It is not compatible with other circuit breaker lines or brands. Furthermore, it is not intended for high-power switching applications, as it is strictly a signaling device for control circuits.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 2 normally open (NO)
• Mounting type: Side-mounted
• Compatibility: TeSys GV2 and GV3 motor circuit breakers
• Function: Auxiliary status signaling

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional. Ensure the motor circuit breaker is disconnected from the power supply before attempting to attach the GVAN20. The block clips onto the side of the compatible circuit breaker unit. Once physically secured, connect the control wires to the terminals according to your specific circuit diagram. Verify the connection by testing the signaling function before putting the system into full operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your specific TeSys GV2 or GV3 model
• Ensure there is sufficient physical space on the side of the breaker for mounting
• Confirm that your control system requires a normally open (NO) contact configuration

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the electrical load connected to the auxiliary contacts does not exceed the rated specifications to prevent damage to the internal components. Regular inspection of the terminal connections is recommended to maintain optimal signal integrity.
