Protecting your motors from faults such as an overload of high voltage, short circuits, or relay shutdowns is vital in an age where any downtime can be detrimental to a business and its operations. Schneider Electric has built a reliable, robust series known as the GV2-L series of Motor Protection Circuit Breaker to act as an intermediary between your devices, protecting vital equipment in the event of unforeseen incidents.

• Magnetic motor circuit breaker.

• Light-weight, robust and compact in its design, the GV2-L series is perfect for tight spaces.

• Rotary knob control type.

• Local and manual control when used on its own or combined with a contactor.

• The Undervoltage trip enables the motor circuit breaker to be tripped if the voltage is lost.

• Remote control tripping with built-in shunt trip.

• The N/C position can be locked using 3 padlocks.

• Spring terminal and screw clamp connectors.

Protection ratings & Safety features:

• Live parts are inaccessible to any direct contact from external users, improving the safety of operations around the MPCB.

• Magnetic trip technology to help protect the unit built into the circuit-breaker.

• IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-2, IEC 60947-4-1 standard ratings (full list in the datasheet).

• Certified CSA (full list in the datasheet).

• IK04 degree of protection.

• Electrical Motor Control and protection

• Easily assembled into any configuration by screw or clip-fixing onto mounting rails.

MPCBs are more critical now than ever. Most infrastructure now relies on a motor behind the scenes to power critical uninterruptible systems such as heating, ventilation, cooling all of which we take for granted. These systems are vital in ensuring business productivity and therefore must be protected against overcurrents, thermal overloads and much more.

To select the right MPCB, consider the systems you and your business rely upon. Checking the features and benefits of each MPCB will prove invaluable when deciding what critical infrastructure you wish to protect.

Schneider are in the process of amending the colour of the TeSys range, from White to Black. This means that the stock you receive could be either of these colours. Please be assured that the colour change in no way affects the Fit, Form or Function of the product.”

Nip electrical hazards in the bud with this motor protection circuit breaker from Schneider Electric. It uses magnetic tripping technology to detect faults and disconnect your motor from the power source when it detects a problem. A rotary handle clearly shows the unit's ON or OFF status for easy monitoring. As this product is designed for continuous duty, you can rely on it to run without downtime. A mechanical lifespan of 100,000 cycles means it goes the distance in tough environments.

• IP20-rated, so it’s finger-safe and resistant to dust or objects larger than 12mm
• Screw terminal type for easy installation without the need for complex tools
• Tightening torque of 1.7Nm for a firm and vibration-resistant attachment to machinery
• Can be locked using 3 padlocks to prevent unauthorised access or tampering
• Operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C so it's reliable in harsh settings

• Manufacturing plants
• Oil and gas industries
• Commercial buildings

Yes, it has a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6kV, which means it tolerates surges without being damaged.
