The 0.25 A rated current (In) with a thermal adjustment range of 0.16...0.25 A means the trip threshold is set at the factory but can be dialed down to match the motor's full-load amps. This is the number that decides fit: if your motor draws 0.2 A FLA, this breaker covers it; if it draws 0.3 A, you need the next step up. The magnetic trip is fixed at 3.08 A — about 12× In — so it handles starting inrush without nuisance tripping on small motors. Phase-failure sensitivity is built in per IEC 60947-4-1, so a lost phase on the line side trips the breaker rather than cooking the motor. ## Breaking capacity — what 100 kA means in practice Rated 100 kA Icu at 400/415 V AC (and at every voltage from 230 V up to 690 V), this breaker clears the maximum prospective fault current available at a typical industrial panel's main bus without needing an upstream current-limiting fuse. For a 0.25 A breaker that's extreme headroom — but it means the part installs into a high-fault-capacity distribution board without a coordination study for the branch circuit. The standard behind it is IEC 60947-2 for circuit breakers and IEC 60947-4-1 for motor starters. Clips onto 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail (standard for control panels) or screws to a panel with an adaptor plate. Dimensions: 45 mm wide, 101 mm high, 78.5 mm deep — fits a standard 45 mm modular device footprint. The IP20 front face means it's touch-safe for the panel builder but not washdown-rated; keep it inside the enclosure. Terminals accept 0.5...2.5 mm² solid or 0.5...4 mm² flexible (without ferrule), two cables per terminal — useful for daisy-chaining the control circuit. ## Approvals and compliance documentation Carries UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and EN/IEC 60947-2 and -4-1 — accepted in North American and European panels without additional evaluation. Also certified for IEC/EN 60335-1 Clause 30.2 (glow-wire for household appliances) and IEC/EN 60335-2-40 Annex JJ (heat pumps and air conditioners). Fire resistance tested to 960 °C per IEC 60695-2-11. Climatic withstand per IACS (marine environment).","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GV2ME02A TeSys GV2 Motor Circuit Breaker,","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GV2ME02A TeSys GV2 motor circuit breaker, 0.25 A rated current, thermal-magnetic trip, 100 kA breaking capacity at 400 V.
