The Schneider Electric CV1BG3G0ZM500 is a TeSys B standard contactor with three normally open poles, rated for 200 A in AC-1 resistive duty and 170 A in AC-3 motor switching. The 220 V AC 50 Hz coil pulls in reliably between 0.85 and 1.1 Uc and drops out between 0.1 and 0.65 Uc at 55 °C. The power circuit uses bolted connections, typical for this current class — no spring terminals here, so plan for a wrench during installation.
Deployment context and environment
It withstands vibration at 4 gn and shock at 4 gn (2 gn in some axes), which is adequate for most fixed industrial installations but not for mobile or high-shock applications. Rated for use up to 2000 m altitude without derating. The maximum operating rate is 120 cycles per minute at 55 °C, and mechanical durability is specified at 5 million cycles — a solid figure for a contactor in this class, though actual electrical life depends on the switching load.
Any cross-reference must be validated against your specific coil voltage, pole count, and mounting footprint.
The contactor is designed and tested to EN 60947-4 and IEC 60947-4, covering low-voltage switchgear and controlgear for motor starters and contactors. The utilisation categories AC-1 (resistive) and AC-3 (motor) are both listed, so it is suitable for heating, lighting, and motor loads alike.
