Phase failure sensitivity is built in, per IEC 60947-4-1, so a lost phase on the line side will trip the breaker and protect the motor from single-phasing. Utilisation category AC-3 means it's rated for switching squirrel-cage motors during starting and running; AC-3e extends that to high-efficiency motor profiles. The 45 mm width (3-module) fits standard enclosure cutouts. Screw-clamp terminals accept up to 6 mm² solid or 4 mm² flexible with ferrule, torqued to 1.7 N·m. IP20 finger-safe front, IK04 mechanical impact rating — suitable for enclosed panel use where occasional tool contact is expected. ## Approvals and standards Certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit-breaker standard) and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (contactor/motor-starter standard), plus UL 60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. That dual-approval coverage means it satisfies both IEC and North American code requirements for motor branch-circuit protection. Climatic withstand per IACS confirms suitability for marine and humid environments within the rated temperature range.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys GV2ME08AP Motor Circuit Breaker, 4 A, 100 kA","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric TeSys GV2ME08AP motor circuit breaker, 4 A rated current, 100 kA breaking capacity at 400 V, thermal-magnetic trip, phase failure sensitive, active production.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB)"],"specifications":{"Depth":"78.5 mm","Range":"TeSys Deca","Width":"45 mm","title":"GV2ME08AP","Colour":"Dark grey","Height":"89 mm","Standards":"EN/IEC 60947-2 EN/IEC 60947-4-1 UL 60947-4-1 CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1","Rated duty":"Uninterrupted conforming to IEC 60947-4-1","Fixing mode":"35 mm symmetrical DIN rail: clipped Panel: screwed (with adaptor plate)","description":"Motor circuit breaker, TeSys Deca, 3P, 2.5 to 4A, thermal magnetic, screw clamp terminals","Control type":"Push-button","Network type":"AC","Product name":"TeSys GV2","Motor power kW":"1.1...1.5 kW at 400/415 V AC 50 Hz 1.5...2.2 kW at 500 V AC 50 Hz 2.2...3 kW at 690 V AC 50 Hz","Fire resistance":"960 °C conforming to IEC 60695-2-11","lifecycle_stage":"current","Breaking capacity":"100 kA Icu at 230/240 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2 100 kA Icu at 400/415 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2 100 kA Icu at 440 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2 100 kA Icu at 500 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2 3 kA Icu at 690 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2","Device short name":"GV2ME","Mounting position":"Horizontal Vertical","Network frequency":"50/60 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2","Poles description":"3P","Tightening torque":"1.7 N.m - on screw clamp terminal","Climatic withstand":"conforming to IACS E10","Device application":"Motor protection","Operating altitude":"<= 2000 m","[In] rated current":"4 A","Trip unit technology":"Thermal-magnetic","Utilisation category":"Category A conforming to IEC 60947-2 AC-3 conforming to IEC 60947-4-1 AC-3e conforming to IEC 60947-4-1","Electrical durability":"100000 cycles for AC-3 at 415 V In 100000 cycles for AC-3e at 415 V In","Mechanical durability":"100000 cycles","Mechanical robustness":"Shocks: 30 Gn for 11 ms Vibrations: 5 Gn, 5...150 Hz","Connections - terminals":"Power circuit: screw clamp terminal 2 cable(s) 1...6 mm²solid Power circuit: screw clamp terminal 2 cable(s) 1.5...6 mm²flexible without cable end Power circuit: screw clamp terminal 2 cable(s) 1...4 mm²flexible with cable end","IK degree of protection":"IK04","IP degree of protection":"IP20 conforming to IEC 60529","Magnetic tripping current":"74 A","Phase failure sensitivity":"Yes conforming to IEC 60947-4-1","Product or component type":"Motor circuit breaker","Suitability for isolation":"Yes conforming to IEC 60947-1","Power dissipation per pole":"2.5 W","[Ui] rated insulation voltage":"690 V AC 50/60 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2","[Ue] rated operational voltage":"690 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2","Ambient air temperature for storage":"-40...80 °C","Thermal protection adjustment range":"2.5...4 A conforming to IEC 60947-2","Ambient air temperature for operation":"-20...60 °C","[Uimp] rated impulse withstand voltage":"6 kV conforming to IEC 60947-2","[Ith] conventional free air thermal current":"4 A conforming to IEC 60947-2","[Ics] rated service short-circuit breaking capacity":"100 % at 230/240 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2 100 % at 400/415 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2 100 % at 440 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2 100 % at 500 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2 75 % at 690 V AC 50 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/ab662498076da2f49f1db2fcca125ab9.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/mk/en/product/GV2ME08AP/motor-circuit-breaker-tesys-deca-3p-2-5-to-4a-thermal-magnetic-screw-clamp-terminals/"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the breaking capacity of the GV2ME08AP?","answer":"100 kA Icu at 230/240 V, 400/415 V, 440 V, and 500 V AC (50 Hz) per IEC 60947-2.
