Schneider GVAE11 & GVAN11 Auxiliary Contacts

Schneider GVAE11 and GVAN11 are TeSys auxiliary contact blocks designed for compatible Schneider Electric GV2 and GV3 motor circuit breakers. These accessories add an auxiliary 1NO + 1NC contact arrangement to the motor protection device, allowing the breaker or motor starter status to be incorporated into control, signalling and monitoring circuits.

The main difference between the two references is their mounting position. The Schneider GVAE11 is the front-mounted auxiliary contact version, while the GVAN11 is designed for left-side mounting. Schneider Electric identifies GVAE11 as a TeSys GV2/GV3 auxiliary contact with 1 normally open and 1 normally closed contact, while GVAN11 provides the same 1NO + 1NC contact configuration with left-side installation. This distinction is important when selecting the correct accessory for an existing motor circuit breaker.

The auxiliary contacts can be used where the status of a motor protection device needs to be communicated to another part of an electrical control system. They are suitable for applications involving motor control, industrial automation, control panels, HVAC equipment and other installations using compatible TeSys GV motor circuit breakers. Schneider states that the GV range is designed for electrical and HVAC applications and provides multi-standard screw connections.

When purchasing a Schneider GVAE11 or GVAN11 auxiliary contact, compatibility should be checked before ordering. GVAE11 is intended for front mounting, whereas GVAN11 is installed on the left side of compatible GV2/GV3 devices. Schneider’s documentation identifies both references as auxiliary contact blocks for the TeSys GV range.

For customers in Pakistan, HN Electric provides electrical and industrial automation products for residential, commercial and industrial applications. If you need an auxiliary contact for a Schneider GV motor circuit breaker, confirm the existing breaker model and required mounting position before placing your order.

Choose GVAE11 when a front-mounted 1NO + 1NC auxiliary contact is required, or GVAN11 when the application requires the corresponding left-side mounting configuration. If you are unsure which Schneider auxiliary contact is compatible with your GV2 or GV3 motor protection device, contact HN Electric before ordering so the correct reference can be confirmed.

FAQs
