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 GV2P series of Motor Protection Circuit Breaker to act as an intermediary between your devices, protecting vital equipment in the event of unforeseen incidents.

• Flexibility in locking the N/C position via the use of 3 padlocks is available.

• Motor Protection Switch rotary knob style control type.

• 100,000 cycles of electrical/mechanical durability.

• Light-weight, robust and compact in its design, the GV2P series is perfect for tight spaces.

• If used on its own, the MPCB has manual or local control. Combined with a contactor and you have access to an automatic & remote control.

• Spring terminal & Screw clamping is available.

• Thermal- magnetic trip unit technology.

Protection ratings & Safety features:

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

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

• EN 60204, IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-2, IEC 60947-4-1 standard ratings (full list in the datasheet).

• Certified ATEX, BV, CCC. CSA and more (full list in the datasheet).

• IP20 degree of protection, conforming to IEC 60529 - further protection against solid objects e.g a persons fingers.

• IK04 degree of protection - impacts of up to 0.5 Joules to the device offer limited 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 overcurrent, 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.
