Breaking capacity is 100 kA Icu at 230/240 V AC, dropping to 15 kA at 400/415 V and 3 kA at 690 V. At 400 V, that 15 kA SCCR is sufficient for most industrial panel bus faults — verify against your transformer size and upstream protection. Snaps onto 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail or screws to a panel with an adaptor plate. Power circuit terminals accept up to 6 mm² solid or 4 mm² flexible with ferrule, two cables per clamp. Tightening torque is 1.7 N·m — a standard screwdriver setting, no special tooling. IP20 finger-safe enclosure, IK04 impact resistance. Certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit-breaker standard) and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (motor-starter standard), plus UL 60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. That dual IEC/UL/CSA coverage means it qualifies for panels destined for North America or Europe without a second-source swap. Phase-failure sensitive per IEC 60947-4-1 — it will trip on loss of one phase, protecting the motor from single-phasing. Electrical durability is 100,000 cycles under AC-3 load at 415 V; mechanical durability matches at 100,000 cycles.","metaTitle":"Schneider GV2ME20AP TeSys Motor Circuit Breaker, 18A, 7.5kW","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric GV2ME20AP TeSys Deca motor circuit breaker, 18A rated current, thermal-magnetic protection. 7.5kW at 400V, 100kA breaking capacity.
