Schneider GV2ME08C Motor Circuit Breaker
1. Product Overview
The Schneider Electric GV2ME08C is a 3-pole thermal-magnetic motor circuit breaker from the TeSys GV2 series, engineered for the dedicated control and protection of three-phase low-to-medium power motors. It features an adjustable thermal current setting range of 2.5 A to 4 A and is rated for a maximum operational voltage of 690 V AC (50/60 Hz), making it ideal for motors up to 1.5 kW in typical 400 V AC industrial systems.
This all-in-one device integrates manual switching, overload protection, short-circuit protection, and phase-loss sensitivity into a compact, DIN-rail mountable unit. Compliant with IEC 60947-2 and IEC 60947-4-1, it is a staple in industrial automation, pump systems, conveyors, and HVAC applications where reliable motor protection and space efficiency are critical. Its robust design ensures performance in harsh environments, while its lockable handle enhances maintenance safety.
2. Main Functions
表格
| Function | Detailed Description |
|---|---|
| Precision Overload Protection | Thermal trip unit with an adjustable range of 2.5–4 A prevents motor burnout by reacting to sustained overcurrents with a time-delayed trip, matching motor thermal characteristics. |
| High-Speed Short-Circuit Protection | Instantaneous magnetic trip at 12 × In rapidly clears short-circuit faults up to 100 kA at 400 V AC, minimizing arc flash and equipment damage. |
| Phase-Loss & Unbalance Protection | Built-in phase sensitivity detects single-phase operation or current imbalance, triggering a trip to avoid motor winding damage (compliant with IEC 60947-4-1). |
| Manual Control & Isolation | Ergonomic push-button operation for direct ON/OFF control; provides positive isolation for safe maintenance procedures. |
| Lockable Safety Feature | The OFF position accepts up to 3 padlocks, preventing unauthorized re-energization during servicing. |
| Modular Accessory Compatibility | Seamlessly integrates with auxiliary contacts, alarm contacts, shunt trips, and undervoltage releases for remote monitoring and control. |
| Visual Status Indication | Clear mechanical indicators confirm the ON/OFF/tripped state, eliminating ambiguity during troubleshooting. |
