GE Industrial Solutions C-2000 Contactors & Starters - Manual (Page 4)

Unbeatable Performance
• A built-in electronic actuation module, standard on
100-500 hp contactors, achieves unequaled
electrical endurance, eliminates bounce and hum,
virtually eradicates audible noise, makes more
efficient use of power, and operates at a low coil
burden to keep the control voltage at normal
levels. This unique electronic actuator also provides
enormous flexibility: AC or DC power may be supplied to the coil
without customized configuration or a coil cut-out switch.
• The BEL02 mechanical interlock includes 2NC contacts providing both
mechanical and cross electrical interlocking.
• Surge suppression is built into the electronic control module inside
100-500 hp contactors. Surge suppressors are available in three versions
(RC filter, varistor and diode) for 5-75 hp contactors to provide
protection to control circuit components when coil is de-energized.
• For energy savings, noise reduction, undervoltage protection
or loss-of-power protection, contactors in the
5-75 hp range can be fitted with an easy-to-use,
snap-on mechanical latch.
Reliable Operation
C-2000 contactors feature long
electrical life (1-2 million operations)
and long mechanical life (10-20
million operations). And every device is
100% tested before leaving the factory.
Note: Horsepower ranges listed throughout
reflect 460V ratings.
Double-clamp terminal accepts two
differently sized wires; both control
and power wires can be inserted
Both AC and DC power can be
applied to 100-500 hp contactors
