New Original Schneider GV3L32 GV3 Series Locking Motor Circuit Breaker
1. Product Overview
2. Main Functions
- Instantaneous Short-Circuit Protection for Motors
The built-in magnetic tripping component triggers rapid power cutoff once severe short-circuit faults emerge inside motor windings or connecting cables, preventing permanent burnout of motors and damage to upstream distribution loops caused by huge short-circuit current.
- LOTO Safety Locking & Electrical Isolation
The rotary handle can be firmly locked at the OFF position with padlocks; up to 4 padlocks can be mounted simultaneously. A visible contact isolation gap is formed inside the breaker after switch-off, which complies with global industrial safety standards and eliminates risks of accidental energization during equipment overhaul, inspection and troubleshooting.
- Manual Circuit Switching & Fault Status Indication
The three-position rotary handle includes ON, OFF and TRIPPED gears. Operators can manually switch normal motor operating current conveniently, and the TRIPPED position clearly reminds users that the circuit has been tripped by faults for quick fault diagnosis.
- Stable Long-Term Cable Connection
EverLink spring compensated screw terminals maintain constant clamping force on copper wires amid temperature variations, effectively avoiding wiring looseness, contact overheating and poor conduction resulting from thermal expansion and contraction.
- Expandable Signal Feedback Function
Auxiliary contact modules can be optionally assembled on the side of the breaker to transmit switch on/off or tripping signals to PLCs and remote monitoring systems for centralized industrial control management.
- Finger Touch Safety Protection
IP20 internal protection structure stops operators from touching live conductive parts accidentally under indoor installation environments.
