This makes it suited for very small motors — fractional-horsepower pumps, fans, or conveyor drives on 50/60 Hz networks. ## Where it mounts and how it connects The 45 mm width and 78.5 mm depth fit standard enclosure layouts — no special spacing needed. Accepts horizontal or vertical mounting. Power circuit terminals accept snap-in connections: 2 cables of 0.5...2.5 mm² solid, or 0.5...4 mm² flexible without ferrule, or 0.5...2.5 mm² flexible with ferrule. That covers most control wiring gauges you'd run to a small motor starter. The IK04 impact rating means it can handle a 0.5 J impact, typical for accidental tool bumps during commissioning. Listed as current production (active lifecycle stage). Complies with EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit-breaker standard), EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (contactor/motor-starter standard), UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. Also meets IEC/EN 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and Annex JJ for appliance applications. Phase failure sensitivity is built in — it will trip if one phase drops out, which prevents single-phasing damage on three-phase motors. Rated for uninterrupted duty per IEC 60947-4-1, meaning it can carry its rated current continuously without derating. Climatic withstand conforms to IACS, covering marine and humid environments. ## Durability and environmental limits Electrical durability is 100,000 cycles at rated current in AC-3 duty (motor switching). Mechanical durability matches at 100,000 cycles. That's a solid service life for a panel component — you'll likely replace the contactor before this breaker wears out. Withstands shocks of 30 Gn for 11 ms and vibrations of 5 Gn from 5 to 150 Hz. Fire resistance tested to 960 °C per IEC 60695-2-11. Power dissipation is 2.5 W per pole.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys GV2ME01A Motor Circuit Breaker, 0.16 A, 100","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric TeSys GV2ME01A motor circuit breaker, 0.16 A rated current, 100 kA breaking capacity at 400 V.
