It uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit, meaning the thermal element protects against sustained overloads and the magnetic element handles short-circuit faults. The magnetic tripping current is set at 341 A, so it clears fast on high faults without nuisance tripping on motor inrush. ## Breaking capacity and fault handling Rated breaking capacity (Icu) reaches 100 kA at 230/240 V AC, 50 kA at 400/415 V, and 20 kA at 440 V, all per IEC 60947-2. At the motor's common 400 V supply, 50 kA is high enough for most industrial panels with a transformer-fed fault level. ## Motor protection specifics Sized for motor loads: it switches 9 kW at 400/415 V, 11 kW at 500 V, and 18.5 kW at 690 V. The utilisation category includes AC-3 and AC-3e per IEC 60947-4-1, so it handles starting and stopping of squirrel-cage motors with occasional plugging or inching. Phase-failure sensitivity is built in, per IEC 60947-4-1, which protects a motor from single-phasing. Electrical durability is rated at 100,000 cycles at 415 V under AC-3 conditions. Accepts power wiring via screw clamp terminals — up to two 6 mm² solid or 4 mm² flexible with ferrule. Tightening torque is 1.7 N·m. The front-mounted auxiliary contact block carries 1 NO + 1 NC, so you can wire a status feedback to the PLC without a separate contactor block. IP20 rated, suitable for dry indoor panels. IK04 impact protection. Climatic withstand per IACS. Fire resistance tested to 960 °C per IEC 60695-2-11. Complies with EN/IEC 60947-2, EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and IEC/EN 60335-2-40 Annex JJ. Suitable for isolation per IEC 60947-1.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys GV2P21AE11TQ Motor Circuit Breaker, 23 A, 3P","metaDescription":"Schneider TeSys GV2 motor circuit breaker GV2P21AE11TQ, 23 A rated current, 3-pole, thermal-magnetic trip, 100 kA breaking capacity at 230 V.
