Description
The item selected on your screen is the Schneider Electric TeSys Deca GV2ME16 Motor Protection Circuit Breaker (MPCB) (Model Number: GV2ME16). Product Description The TeSys GV2ME16 is a specialized thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed specifically to control, run, and protect industrial electric motors. Unlike a standard household circuit breaker, an MPCB is calibrated to handle the intense electrical characteristics of electric motors, integrating short-circuit protection, overload protection, and phase failure safety into one compact unit. Key Features 3-Pole (3P) Configuration: Designed to fully control and isolate all three lines of a three-phase motor system. Adjustable Thermal Setting (9A to 14A): Features a small dial on the front face allowing an electrician to precisely set the overcurrent trip limit to match the exact Full Load Amperage (FLA) of the connected motor. Thermal-Magnetic Protection: * Thermal protection safe-keeps the motor from burning out if it gets mechanically jammed or overloaded. Magnetic protection instantly cuts off power (170A trip threshold) if a catastrophic short circuit is detected. Push-Button Control: Equipped with a physical Start (I / Black) and Stop (O / Red) mechanical push-button interface for manual local operation. Phase Failure Sensitivity: Automatically detects if one of the three incoming phases drops out, tripping the circuit immediately to prevent the motor from running unbalanced and destroying its windings. Compatible Mechanisms and Components The GV2ME series is a core component of industrial motor control centers (MCC) and functions alongside specific accessories and machinery: 1. In-Panel Accessory Compatibility TeSys D / Deca Contactors: Commonly paired directly with a matching contactor (such as the LC1D12 or LC1D18) using a wireless link block (Model GV2AF3). This creates a complete, space-saving remote starter assembly. Auxiliary Contact Blocks: Accepts top-mounted (e.g., GVAE11) or side-mounted (e.g., GVAN11) auxiliary switch modules to transmit the breaker’s ON/OFF status back to a PLC or indicator light array. Fault Signaling Contacts: Compatible with GVAD1010 blocks, which add a separate contact path that only triggers if the breaker trips due to an actual fault, differentiating a manual turn-off from an overload event. Enclosures: Fits into Schneider’s GV2MC surface-mounting IP55 waterproof boxes for localized, standalone motor control outside the main electrical panel. 2. Machinery and Mechanical Loads It Protects The 9–14A rating makes this MPCB ideal for safeguarding standard three-phase electric motors operating at 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) under 400/415V conditions, including: Industrial Ventilation & Extraction Fans: Found in commercial HVAC systems, sawdust extraction rigs, and barn ventilation lines. Conveyor Belts & Sorting Lines: Drives the mechanical gearboxes on factory assembly floors and packaging plants. Water & Fluid Pumps: Safeguards medium-capacity agricultural irrigation pumps, commercial building booster pumps, and industrial coolant circulation systems. Workshop Machinery: Perfect for protecting the individual three-phase induction motors inside heavy pillar drills, industrial wood band saws, and small air compressors.
