Square D GVAE11 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What's the difference between GVAE11 and GVAN11 on a TeSys GV2 breaker?
Electrically they're the same block: 1 NO + 1 NC instantaneous auxiliary contacts. The difference is where they go on the breaker. GVAE11 mounts on the front face, GVAN11 mounts on the side. Pick front mount when the side of the breaker is tight against an adjacent device, and side mount when you need the front clear for the handle or a door coupling.
2) Can I switch a 120V AC control relay coil with this TeSys Deca auxiliary contact?
Yes, within its rating. The block is rated for operation up to 2A at 240V AC and 1A at 60V DC, with a rated operational voltage of 24 to 240V AC and 24 to 60V DC. A 120V AC control relay coil sits inside that. It is a control and signaling contact, not a load-switching contact, so don't run motor or heater current through it.
3) I use ABB manual motor starters, not Square D. What's the equivalent auxiliary contact?
The Square D GVA block only fits TeSys GV2 and GV3 breakers, so it won't go on an ABB starter. For ABB MS116 or MS132 manual motor protectors, the ABB HK1-11 side-mount auxiliary contact is the 1NO/1NC equivalent. On Eaton manual motor protectors, the Eaton XT auxiliary contact is the matching accessory.
4) Can I use this block as an auxiliary contact on a contactor instead of a breaker?
No. The GVA block is built to mount on TeSys GV2 and GV3 motor circuit breakers and protectors, not on contactors. For contactor-mounted auxiliaries, look at a kit made for that contactor line, such as the Eaton C320DPG20 auxiliary contact kit rated 2NO at 10A, 600V, the Eaton Freedom series top-mount auxiliary contact, or the ABB CR305X series auxiliary contact for contactors and relays.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Square D GVAE11 auxiliary contact block from another manufacturer?
The closest match in function is the ABB HK1-11, a side-mount auxiliary contact with a 1NO/1NC configuration for MS116 and MS132 manual motor starters. The Square D GVAE11 carries the same 1 NO + 1 NC contact arrangement but mounts to the front side of TeSys GV2 and GV3 motor circuit breakers, with the GVAN11 covering the side-mount position. These blocks are dedicated to their own breaker families, so the ABB part goes on an MS116/132 body and the Square D part goes on a GV2 or GV3 body.
6) Can I use an Eaton XTPAXSA auxiliary contact on a Square D TeSys GV2 breaker?
No. The Eaton XTPAXSA is an auxiliary contact built for Eaton XT manual motor protectors and attaches to that family's bodies. For a TeSys GV2 or GV3 motor circuit breaker you need a block with the GVAE compatibility code, such as the front-mount GVAE11 or the side-mount GVAN11, both 1 NO + 1 NC. Auxiliary contact blocks in this class are not cross-brand interchangeable because the mechanical interface and actuator are specific to the breaker they clip onto.
7) Is this auxiliary contact reliable for low-voltage PLC input signaling?
It has a stated minimum switching voltage of 17 V, so a 24V DC PLC input is comfortably above the floor. Conventional free air thermal current (Ith) is 2.5 A and mechanical durability is rated at 100,000 operating cycles. For sub-17V logic-level signals, use a contact specified for low-level switching instead.
8) What torque should I use on the terminals of the Square D GVAE auxiliary contact block?
Screw clamp terminals, tightened to 1.4 N.m. That's the manufacturer figure for the TeSys Deca GVA block. Use a torque screwdriver on panel builds where terminal torque gets inspected.
9) Will an ABB CR305X auxiliary contact work on a TeSys GV3 motor circuit protector?
No. The ABB CR305X Series auxiliary contact is made for ABB contactors and relays, not for TeSys breaker bodies. The Square D TeSys Deca 1 NO + 1 NC block carries the GVAE compatibility code and fits GV2ME, GV2RT, GV2LE, GV2L, GV2P, GV3P and GV3L motor circuit breakers and protectors, in a front-mount or side-mount version.
10) What is the difference between the Square D GVAE11 and an auxiliary contact for a lighting contactor?
The Square D GVAE11 is a 1 NO + 1 NC block that attaches to TeSys GV2 and GV3 motor circuit breakers for auxiliary switching and remote signaling on a motor protection circuit. The ABB CR460XB2 is a 2-pole auxiliary contact block built as a 460 Line lighting contactor accessory, so it serves a lighting contactor rather than a motor circuit breaker. Choose by the host device: GV2 or GV3 breaker bodies take the GVAE11 or the side-mount GVAN11.
11) Is an Eaton Freedom Series top-mount auxiliary contact a substitute for the Square D GVAN11 side-mount block?
They are not substitutes. The Eaton C320KG-SD is a Freedom Series NEMA top-mount auxiliary contact and installs on the top of a NEMA-style device. The Square D GVAN11 is the side-mount position of the 1 NO + 1 NC TeSys Deca block for GV2 and GV3 breakers, with the GVAE11 covering the front-side position. Pick the mount position that your enclosure clearance allows within the TeSys family rather than crossing brands.
12) If I need two normally open contacts instead of 1 NO and 1 NC, what are my options?
The Square D TeSys Deca block is a fixed 1 NO + 1 NC arrangement in both the front-mount GVAE11 and side-mount GVAN11 versions. Where a 2NO arrangement is required, the Eaton C320DPG20 auxiliary contact kit is 2NO rated 10A at 600V, and the Eaton ARA20 is a four-pole AR/ARD machine tool relay top deck adder with a 2NO configuration. Both are tied to their own Eaton host devices, so confirm the device in the panel before ordering.
13) How many auxiliary contact blocks come in a box?
The GVA auxiliary contact block is supplied as a set of 10. That suits panel shops and OEMs building repeat machine panels; for a single breaker retrofit you'll have nine spares on the shelf.
