04220HL21204A GE Module Parts HL Series Heavy-Duty DC Magnetic Contactor | Product Introduction & Specifications

Product Summary
GE 04220HL21204A HL Series heavy-duty DC magnetic contactor delivers 250A continuous at 600VDC with magnetic blowout arc quenching for reliable high-power switching. Features 2NO+2NC auxiliary contacts, anti-vibration frame, UL/CE certification, and modular contact assembly for easy maintenance in traction, mining, marine, and battery systems.
Product Description
Product Overview

The GE 04220HL21204A is an HL series heavy-duty DC magnetic contactor, belonging to the same GE L-line DC contactor family as the previously released FL and GL models (04220FL11232A, 04220GL21204A). It is designed for switching high-current DC power circuits in industrial traction systems, DC drives, battery energy cabinets, mining equipment, and marine power control panels.

Equipped with a magnetic blowout arc extinguishing structure, it reliably breaks DC arcs under heavy load conditions. Auxiliary contacts provide status feedback and interlock signals for the control system. It is a critical replacement spare part for maintenance and retrofit of legacy GE DC power control assemblies.
