Overview

The ABB GF1050-20-22-53 is a 2-pole DC contactor engineered for photovoltaic (PV) solar power systems operating up to 1500V DC. Each pole is rated for 750V DC, enabling bidirectional breaking of both positive and negative conductors. The contactor delivers a rated operational current of 210A at 1500V DC-PV3 and maintains the same rating across 0-40°C ambient temperatures. The control circuit accepts a wide voltage range of 100-250V AC/DC at 50/60Hz and 100-250V DC, simplifying inventory and system design with just two coil variants covering the entire range. The bidirectional design eliminates the need for separate positive and negative switching devices, reducing component count and system complexity. The contactor features AF technology for controlled, distinct, and energy-efficient operation, even in unstable networks with voltage sags, dips, or surges. Front-accessible coil and PLC control terminals are clearly marked for straightforward integration into automated systems. With 2 normally open and 2 normally closed auxiliary contacts, the GF1050-20-22-53 complements ABB’s expanding DC switching portfolio for utility-scale PV solar plants transitioning to higher voltage systems. The compact block-type design ensures easy installation and maintenance in central inverter applications.
