Schneider GV2ME04C Motor Circuit Breaker
1. Product Overview
The Schneider Electric GV2ME04C is a 3‑pole thermal‑magnetic motor circuit breaker from the TeSys GV2 series, purpose‑built for the control and comprehensive protection of low‑power three‑phase motors. It is designed for AC 50/60 Hz systems with a rated operational voltage up to 690 V AC, and provides precise protection for motors with a rated current range of 0.4 A to 0.63 A.
This compact, DIN‑rail mountable device integrates overload, short‑circuit, phase‑loss, and phase‑unbalance protection in one unit, serving as both a protective device and a manual control switch for motors. Compliant with IEC 60947‑2 and IEC 60947‑4‑1 standards, it is widely used in industrial automation, machinery, and small motor control applications where reliable, space‑saving motor protection is required.
2. Main Functions
表格
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| Overload Protection | Thermal trip unit with adjustable current setting (0.4–0.63 A) detects sustained overloads, tripping to prevent motor overheating and insulation damage. |
| Short‑Circuit Protection | Fast‑acting magnetic trip mechanism responds instantaneously to high short‑circuit currents, clearing faults within milliseconds to protect windings and connected equipment. |
| Phase‑Loss & Unbalance Protection | Built‑in phase sensitivity detects single‑phase operation and current imbalance, triggering a trip to avoid motor burnout. |
| Manual Motor Control | Ergonomic rotary handle enables manual ON/OFF switching for infrequent motor starting and stopping. |
| Visible Isolation Indication | Clear handle position indicator (ON/OFF) provides visual confirmation of circuit status, ensuring safe maintenance. |
| Lockable Operation | The handle can be locked in the OFF position with up to 3 padlocks, preventing unauthorized operation during maintenance. |
| Modular Accessory Compatibility | Supports easy integration with auxiliary contacts, alarm contacts, undervoltage releases, and shunt trips for remote control and monitoring. |
| Safe Isolation Function | Acts as a reliable isolator, providing complete disconnection for safe equipment servicing. |
