Technical Parameters
Parameter Category Specification Notes
Base Device GSH202 AC 200A frame high-performance contactor. AC indicates an AC-operating coil, but the exact voltage (e.g., 230V) is not specified here and must be provided as a separate part of the full order code.
Main Circuit Ratings
• Rated Operational Current (Ie) 200 A (at AC-3, 400V)
• Rated Operational Voltage (Ue) Up to 690 V AC
Mounting/Accessory Package -D16 Specific mechanical/accessory code. In GSH series coding:
• D often denotes a specific mounting style, terminal configuration, or a version without a prominent front manual handle (compared to C codes). It may indicate a flush or compact design intended primarily for electrical operation.
• 16 is a variant code, likely specifying details like included auxiliary contacts, terminal types, or mounting bracket style.
Critical Special Feature /0.03 Integrated 0.03A (30mA) fuse for the control coil circuit (terminals A1-A2).
Control Coil Fuse (/0.03) Core Protective Feature
• Purpose To protect the external control power source from damage in case of a short circuit in the contactor's coil or its wiring. Safeguards PLC outputs, relay contacts, or small control transformers.
• Rating 30 mA, gG or similar.
• Location Integrated within the contactor assembly, often in a dedicated, accessible compartment.
Control Coil AC (type specified). Coil voltage is a separate, mandatory specification. Example full order code: GSH202 A230 -D16/0.03
Utilization Categories AC-3, AC-4, AC-1 For motor and resistive load switching.
Switching Capacity • Making Capacity (Icm): ~2000 A (peak).
• Short-circuit Withstand: Requires backup fuse/circuit breaker.
Mechanical Life ≥ 10 million operations
Electrical Life (AC-3) ≥ 1.0 million operations at full rated current (200A)
Typical Inclusions (Interpretation of -D16) Likely includes a basic set of built-in auxiliary contacts (e.g., 1NO+1NC) for status feedback. It likely does NOT include a front manual rotary handle for local operation. Must be confirmed with specific documentation for -D16.
Mounting Standard foot mounting or as defined by the D package.
Operation Primarily electrical via its coil. Lacks a manual operator handle.
The ABB GSH202 AC-D16/0.03 is a specific configuration of a high-performance AC power contactor from ABB's G-H series. It combines a 200A frame contactor with a specific mounting/accessory package (D16) and includes the critical integrated low-current (0.03A/30mA) fuse for its control coil circuit.
