Its 0.4 A thermal-magnetic trip unit covers fractional-horsepower motors (0.12 kW at 400 V, 0.18 kW at 400 V, 0.37 kW at 690 V) in a single housing. The 100 kA breaking capacity across 230–690 V AC gives you fault clearance almost anywhere on a low-voltage network, so you can hold SCCR without a separate fuse or limiter. The 0.4 A line-rated current is the setting you apply to match the motor full-load amps — do not confuse with the magnetic trip threshold (5.8 A), which handles short-circuit only. Power dissipation per pole is 2.5 W. Breaking capacity of 100 kA holds at every standard voltage up to 690 V. Utilization category A, AC-3, and AC-3e per IEC 60947 means it is rated for normal starting duty of motors.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys GV2ME03A Motor Circuit Breaker, 0.4 A, 100 k","metaDescription":"GV2ME03A current-production motor circuit breaker from Schneider TeSys Deca series. 0.4 A thermal-magnetic, 100 kA breaking capacity, 3P.
