GCLAC3F480

NOsparc® GCLAC3F480 DATA SHEET PRODUCT OVERVIEW The NOsparc® GCLAC3F480 contact arc suppressor (AC power applications) protects, cleans, and restores the contact points of 3-phase relays and contactors. This improves their overall performance and extends contact life to the mechanical life of the relay or contactor. The NOsparc GCLAC3F480 arc suppressor is designed to suppress contact arcing from 110Vac to 480Vac. NOsparc AC arc suppressors connect across the contact terminals on existing products and equipment using two wires per contact, plus a connection to the contactor’s coil. NOsparc AC power arc suppressors support the following AC power loads: • General Purpose • Capacitive • Pilot Duty • Resistive • Inductive • Tungsten • Ballast • Heater • Motor NOsparc is effective even under mixed load conditions. - CONTACT LIFE CONTACTS LAST TO MECHANICAL LIFE OF RELAY OR CONTACTOR • REDUCES • ROHS MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, AND REPLACEMENT COSTS COMPLIANT • REDUCES CARBON FOOTPRINT • REDUCES GREENHOUSE GASSES • EASY Additional information and a full User Manual are available on our website: www.ArcSuppressionTechnologies.com DIMENSIONS AND DRAWINGS FEATURES AND BENEFITS • EXTENDS HVACR & Automation Note that the GCLAC3F480 comes with an “L”-shaped mounting bracket screws that may be used as needed for installation. Product dimensions without optional mounting bracket: INSTALLATION - ARC SUPPRESSION CONNECTED IN PARALLEL ACROSS EACH CONTACT - COIL POWER CONNECTION DRAWS APPROX. 10mA FROM CONTROLLER • SMALL FOOTPRINT - EASILY ADAPTED TO EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE - QUICK AND SIMPLE PANEL MOUNT RETROFIT PROCESS • LOWER EMI - AVERAGE 30dB REDUCTION OF EMI OVER 30MHz TO 1GHz RANGE Product dimensions with optional mounting bracket: LED INDICATOR LIGHTS READY Lights: 3 green LEDs will light when arc suppressor installed in a powered circuit and contacts are open. ARMED Lights: 3 red LEDs will light when the contactor’s coil is on and arc suppressor is ready for operation. Light patterns other than those shown above indicate either improper installation or product malfunction.
