It integrates a magnetic trip unit with a tripping limit of 13 x In, so it clears short-circuit faults without relying on an upstream fuse or breaker for motor branch circuits. ## Panel fit and cable entry The enclosure measures 173 mm deep by 88 mm wide by 166 mm high, sized for a standard 200 mm deep panel backplate. Cable entries are pre-cut: two 25 mm ISO knockouts at top and bottom, plus two 20 mm ISO knockouts at top and bottom — plan gland plates for these diameters before the install date. The black rotary handle protrudes from the front; padlock it in the OFF position using up to three 8 mm padlocks for lockout/tagout compliance. It carries compliance with IEC 60947-4 (motor starters), VDE 0660-102, EN 60947, and IEC 60439-1 (low-voltage switchgear assemblies). The IP54 rating meets IEC 60529 for dust and splash protection — suitable for washdown areas or outdoor cabinets if kept out of direct hose spray. ## Sourcing posture This is a current-production TeSys GV2-LC variant. Source it against an RFQ for the project BOM; no last-time-buy or phase-out notice applies. The 4 A thermal adjustment range and 690 V rated operational voltage match the spec for small motor branch circuits up to 1.5 kW at 400 V.","metaTitle":"TeSys GV2LC0208 Enclosed DOL Starter, 4 A, IP54","metaDescription":"Active TeSys GV2LC0208 enclosed DOL starter, 4 A thermal protection, 100 kA breaking capacity, IP54 polycarbonate enclosure.
