B-LINE A202K2GA – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line A202K2GA lighting contactor switch a 60 amp lighting load?
The A202K2GA is rated 60A, so it handles lighting branch circuits up to that ampacity per pole. Size it against the connected load of the circuits you are switching, not just the breaker.
2) What control voltage does the B-Line A202K2GA contactor coil need?
The coil runs on 120V, 60 Hz. Your control wiring, timeclock, photocell or BAS relay output has to supply 120 VAC at 60 Hz. A 24V or 277V control circuit will not operate this unit.
3) How many circuits can one A202K2GA lighting contactor control?
It is an eight-pole contactor, so it switches up to eight separate lighting circuits from one control signal. On a three-phase panel that typically covers two or more lighting branches grouped together.
4) I am replacing a failed lighting contactor in an existing panel. What has to match for the A202K2GA to drop in?
Three things decide it: pole count, ampacity and coil voltage. The A202K2GA is eight-pole, 60A, with a 120V 60 Hz coil. If the unit coming out is a 6-pole or has a 277V or 24V coil, this is not a direct swap and you will be rewiring control. Enclosure and mounting pattern also need checking against what is on the wall before you commit.
5) What does magnetically latched mean on the B-Line A202 contactor, and why would I pick it over a mechanically held type?
Magnetically latched means the coil is energized continuously to hold the contacts in position. That gives you simple two-wire control from a switch, timeclock or photocell, and the contactor drops out if control power is lost. A mechanically held contactor uses a momentary pulse and stays put through a control power loss, which is what you want if the lights must not change state on a control dropout. Pick the latched A202 when you want the load to follow the control signal directly and coil hum or continuous coil draw is not a concern.
6) Can I run the B-Line A202K2GA off a photocell and timeclock for parking lot lighting?
Yes, as long as the control device switches 120 VAC. The coil is 120V, 60 Hz, so a line-voltage photocell or timeclock contact wired in series with the coil will pull the contactor in and drop it out. The eight poles then carry the actual lighting load, keeping the small control contacts out of the 60A path.
7) What is the exact part number to specify for this eight-pole B-Line lighting contactor?
Order it as B-Line A202K2GA, part of the A202 Series. That designation covers the eight-pole, 60A configuration with the 120V 60 Hz coil. If your drawing calls for a different pole count or coil voltage, it will be a different suffix in the same series.
