GF contactors for DC switching

The compact and efficient way of DC switching

03

The renewable energy industry is

continuously striving towards increasing
its efficiency in order to compete with
traditional power sources. Photovoltaic

(PV) solar power is one of the sources
leading the way. In moving from
1000 V DC to 1500 V DC, costs of utility-
scale power plants are greatly reduced.

The GF range of contactors expands
ABB's current AF and GAF PV solar
product offering by adding contactor

switching capabilities for 1500 V DC.

Energy Efficiency
GF contactors offer tailored solutions to enable remote, automatic and energy ef-
ficient switching of 1500 V DC circuits in central PV inverter optimization.
The GF contactors are built with ABB's standard low energy electronic coils for
safe and controlled operation.

Continuous operation
The GF contactor features AF technology with continuous voltage and current
control during the contactors operation. This ensures distinct, safe and energy
efficient operations even in unstable networks. Voltage sags, dips or surges pose
no threat. The GF contactor secures application uptime.

Speed up your projects
ABB's GF contactor complies with all major international standards.
It features AC/DC controlled wide voltage range coils together with easily
accessible coil terminals to make easier and quicker product selection
and installation.
