The power circuit is rated for utilisation categories AC-7A and AC-7B, covering motor control, heating, and lighting loads. The rated breaking and making capacity is 68 A at 400 V AC for the power circuit, per IEC 61095. ## Durability and operating conditions Electrical durability is 100,000 cycles under both AC-7A and AC-7B; mechanical durability is 1,000,000 cycles. The maximum operating rate is 300 cycles per hour at 50 °C. The contactor withstands shocks of 10 Gn (open) and 15 Gn (closed) for 11 ms, and vibrations of 2 Gn (open) or 3 Gn (closed) from 5 to 300 Hz. Dimensions are 81 mm high, 17.5 mm wide, and 62.5 mm deep. The white housing carries IP20 protection (VDE 0106) and IP40 when enclosed. Screw-clamp terminals accept up to 6 mm² solid or flexible wire for the power circuit. ## Standards compliance The contactor is designed to IEC 61095 and IEC 60947-5. The rated insulation voltage (Ui) is 500 V per IEC 61095 and VDE 0110. The associated fuse rating for the power circuit is 25 A gL at up to 440 V.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GC2511B5 TeSys GC Modular Contactor, 2P,","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GC2511B5 TeSys GC modular contactor, 2 poles, 24 V AC 50 Hz control.
