For motor duty, you'll size this to match the motor's full-load amps, not the branch circuit ampacity. The magnetic trip at 341 A is about 19x In — high enough to ride through motor inrush without nuisance trips, but fast enough to clear a bolted fault. At 400/415 V AC — the most common industrial voltage — the GV2ME206 is rated 15 kA Icu per IEC 60947-2. That's the maximum prospective short-circuit current it can clear without damage. Motor power ratings: 7.5 kW at 400/415 V AC, 9 kW at 500 V, and 15 kW at 690 V. These are the standard 3-phase induction motor sizes this breaker protects at those voltages. Match the voltage column to your line voltage — don't use the 690 V figure for a 400 V system. Also panel-mountable with an adaptor plate. The 45 mm width (3 module spaces) fits standard enclosure rail. Horizontal or vertical orientation is fine, which helps when you're packing multiple breakers into a tight row. IP20 finger-safe protection on the front, so it's suitable for enclosed panels where operators might reach in. The IK04 impact rating means it can handle a 0.5 J strike — enough for accidental tool bumps during commissioning, not for open-panel abuse. Listed to EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit-breaker standard) and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (contactor-starter standard), plus UL 60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. That covers most global panel approvals. Also complies with IEC/EN 60335 for appliance applications — Annex JJ for outdoor units and Clause 30.2 for glow-wire resistance. Fire resistance tested to 960 °C per IEC 60695-2-11. Phase failure sensitivity is built in per IEC 60947-4-1 — if one phase drops, the thermal element sees the imbalance and trips.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GV2ME206 TeSys Deca Motor Circuit Breaker","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GV2ME206 TeSys Deca motor circuit breaker, 18 A rated current, thermal-magnetic protection, 3-pole, 7.5 kW at 400 V AC.
