The Schneider Electric CV1BG2G0ZMD00 is a TeSys B standard contactor, 2-pole, rated for 200 A in AC-1 and AC-3 utilisation categories. The 220 V DC coil pulls in at 0.85 to 1.1 Uc and drops out between 0.1 and 0.65 Uc at 55 °C, so it's a straight DC coil — no rectifier needed, but watch the dropout range if your control supply dips. That 200 A figure is the conventional free-air thermal current at 40 °C, which means it'll carry that continuously in open air; derate if you stuff it in a tight panel. This is a two-pole contactor with both poles normally open (2 NO). It's built for switching motor loads (AC-3) and resistive circuits like heating and lighting (AC-1). If you're running a 200 A resistive heater bank, this is a direct fit. For motor duty at 200 A, that's roughly a 90–110 kW motor at 400 V, but confirm the actual motor FLA against the AC-3 rating in your specific voltage.
It'll live inside a control cabinet or a machine enclosure. The control circuit terminates with lugs or a connector; power connections are cable with lug. Shock and vibration resistance is 4 gn / 2 gn, which is typical for industrial panel gear — fine for most fixed installations, but if it's going on a vibrating conveyor or mobile equipment, you'll want to check the mounting orientation and add damping. Maximum operating altitude is 2000 m without derating. If you're above that, the air density drop reduces the cooling and dielectric strength — standard IEC derating applies.
