Automation Direct GH15BN Contactor Motor Starter

Automation Direct GH15BN is a 3‑pole IEC magnetic contactor from the GH15 series, designed for 440–480 VAC three‑phase motor control and built in a 45 mm frame size. It provides three normally open power poles and one normally open auxiliary contact, with a current rating up to 9 A full‑load current, making it suitable for start/stop control of small to mid‑size three‑phase motors in automation and control panels. The GH15BN‑3‑10A configuration uses a coil rated for 120 VAC at 60 Hz or 110 VAC at 50 Hz, aligning with common control voltages, and the family includes multiple coil variants to match regional frequencies. For mounting and integration, Automation Direct notes that a DIN rail adapter plate is used to assemble the contactor with motor starters or overloads, enabling compact, modular motor control when paired with the company’s overload relays. With three power contacts and one auxiliary contact, the unit supports basic interlocking and status signaling in control circuits while enduring demanding industrial operation. The GH15BN is part of AutomationDirect’s IEC contactor lineup, offering a compact solution for controlling 3‑phase motors at 460 V and similar supplies, with a footprint that simplifies panel wiring and replacement within GH15‑based systems.
