It's a self-contained unit — the breaker, thermal overload, and enclosure come as one assembly, so there's no separate contactor-and-relay stack to wire up. The thermal protection adjustment range tops out at 14 A, and the magnetic trip fires at 13 x In (±20 %), which means it handles inrush without nuisance trips on standard induction motors. Rated operational voltage goes to 690 V, and the breaking capacity (Icu per IEC 60947-2) runs from 10 kA at 500 V up to 100 kA at 220–230 V — so it's sized for industrial panels where fault current can vary by supply voltage. The IP54 polycarbonate enclosure keeps dust and splash out, making it a fit for machine-side mounting rather than a clean control cabinet. Standards compliance covers VDE 0660-102, EN 60947, IEC 60439-1, and IEC 60947-4 — the usual suite for motor starters and distribution in European and IEC-based installations. The 14 A thermal adjustment range sets the motor FLA it can protect — you set the dial to match the motor nameplate. The magnetic trip at 13 x In (±20 %) means it holds through starting current (typically 6–8 x FLA) and only clears on a hard short. That's standard for a DOL starter on a general-purpose induction motor. Breaking capacity spans 10 kA at 500 V to 100 kA at 220–230 V. The number that matters for your panel is the SCCR at your supply voltage — if your available fault current is 18 kA at 400 V, the 20 kA rating at 440 V covers it. The 100 kA figure at 230 V is typical for low-voltage industrial networks. IP54 means the enclosure is dust-protected and splash-resistant — fine for machine-side or washdown-adjacent areas, but not for hose-down or submersion. The polycarbonate shell holds up in industrial atmospheres where a metal enclosure might corrode. Cable entries are 2 x 20 mm and 2 x 25 mm ISO knockouts at top and bottom — enough for standard motor and supply cables through PG-type glands. The rotary handle is black, and the enclosure accepts 1–3 padlocks (Ø 8 mm) in the OFF position for lockout/tagout. ## Physical dimensions and mounting The enclosure measures 166 mm high, 88 mm wide, and 173 mm deep. That depth includes the rotary handle and cable entries — account for it when spacing on a machine frame or sub-panel.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys GV2LC0216 Enclosed DOL Starter, 14 A, 3P","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric TeSys GV2LC0216 enclosed DOL starter. 14 A thermal protection, 10-100 kA breaking capacity, IP54.

The closest sibling would be a GV2LC unit with a different thermal adjustment range — for example, a 10 A or 20 A variant. The mechanical footprint and enclosure are identical across the range; only the trip unit changes. No pin-compatible drop-in exists outside the GV2LC family because the enclosure and breaker are integrated."},{"question":"What is the depth of the GV2LC0216?","answer":"The depth is 173 mm, measured from the back of the enclosure to the front of the rotary handle."},{"question":"What is the width of the GV2LC0216?","answer":"The width is 88 mm."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for the GV2LC0216?","answer":"The GV2LC0216 is certified to VDE 0660-102, EN 60947, IEC 60439-1, and IEC 60947-4.
