It integrates a 3-pole reversing contactor, a GV2ME motor circuit breaker, and a GV2AF01 mechanical interlock block into a single unit — one order code, one DIN-rail footprint, one wiring pass. The thermal protection adjustment range is 9...14 A, which sets the overload relay trip point for the connected motor. Rated for AC-3 utilisation category (the standard for squirrel-cage motor switching), the GV2ME16K2U7 handles motor loads up to 5.5 kW at 400/415 V AC and 7.5 kW at 500 V AC. The magnetic trip is fixed at 170 A — that's the instantaneous short-circuit release, not the thermal overload setting, so it clears a bolted fault fast without waiting for the bimetal to heat. Breaking capacity is 15 kA at 400/415 V AC, certified to IEC 60947-4-1, which means it can interrupt a fault current up to that level under Type 1 coordination (the starter may need contact replacement after a fault, but the upstream device stays selective). For a panel builder, the 45 mm width and 152 mm height fit a standard 8-module DIN-rail slot; depth is 87 mm, which clears most 200 mm deep enclosures with room for wiring gutters.","metaTitle":"Schneider GV2ME16K2U7 TeSys reversing starter, 9-14 A, 230 V","metaDescription":"Active-production DOL reversing combination starter. 9-14 A thermal range, AC-3 duty, 15 kA breaking capacity at 400 V. 3-pole, 230/240 V AC coil.

The GV2ME16K2U7 is set for 9...14 A with a 230/240 V AC coil. A sibling with a different thermal block (e.g., 1.6...2.5 A or 17...23 A) or a different control voltage (24 V AC or 110 V AC) would be the direct alternative if the motor FLA or panel control voltage differs. The mechanical footprint and coordination type remain the same across the range."},{"question":"What is the physical size of the GV2ME16K2U7?","answer":"Width is 45 mm, height is 152 mm, depth is 87 mm.
