Connection diagrams
Recommended connection
In the example below, the 3 poles are connected in series without the load in between.
This connection is recommended in systems according to the following configurations.
+ -

Indirect earthed system Direct earthed system Centre earthed system
(isolated system)
Load
5

Alternative connection (not possible for GA75, GAE75)
The load could be placed in between the contacts in a indirect earthed system. If not connected according to the configuration
below, a fault to earth could result in one or two contacts breaking the full load which the contactor is not approved for.

Points to consider
The above relates to power circuit switching. The SCPD (Short Circuit Protection Device) must comply with applicable protec-
tion rules.

Polarity:
For all GA, GAE, GAF types, connection polarities must be respected.
(See instruction leaflet and see markings on the main terminals or the contactor front)
