GVAE20 Auxiliary Contact for TeSys
The Schneider Electric GVAE20 is an auxiliary contact block designed for front mounting on TeSys and TeSys Deca contactors. It adds two normally open contacts to the control circuit for signalling or interlocking tasks. Industrial electricians and panel builders use it to expand the control functionality of motor starters.
2.5 A AC rating under continuous duty
The contact block carries 2.5 A at 240 V AC and 60 V DC when the circuit remains energised for long periods. Screw clamp terminals maintain a secure connection despite vibration or thermal cycling. The transparent housing allows visual confirmation of contact status during inspection.
Front mount with screw clamp terminals
Installation is completed by snapping the block onto the front of a compatible TeSys contactor and tightening the screw clamp terminals. No special tools are required beyond a standard screwdriver. Misalignment during mounting or over-tightening the terminal screws are the most common issues that prevent reliable operation.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the GVAE20 generate when energised continuously at 2.5 A?
The contact is rated for 2.5 A at 240 V AC and 60 V DC; heat rise depends on the enclosure and duty cycle of the host contactor.
What must I already own to mount and wire the GVAE20?
A compatible TeSys or TeSys Deca contactor for front mounting and a screwdriver for the screw clamp terminals.
Will the GVAE20 fit on an older TeSys contactor I already have?
Yes, the auxiliary contact is compatible with the TeSys and TeSys Deca series for front mounting.
