At 400 V you get 25 kA, still enough for most industrial distribution. That's the utilisation category that matters for motor switching — AC-1 resistive loads would be easier, but AC-3 is what you need for direct-on-line motor starts. The GV4LE25B is a panel-mount device — no DIN-rail clip on this one. It bolts into the enclosure on a mounting plate. Dimensions are 155 mm high, 81 mm wide, 116 mm deep. That 81 mm width is three pole spaces wide on a standard 27 mm/module grid, so it takes up the same footprint as a typical 3-pole contactor in the TeSys range. Terminals are EverLink BTR screw connectors. Top side accepts 1.5...70 mm² solid or 1.5...50 mm² flexible; bottom side takes 2.5...95 mm² solid or 2.5...70 mm² flexible. Tightening torque is 9 N·m for the larger cables (16...95 mm²) and 5 N·m for the smaller ones (1.5...10 mm²). That's a standard torque driver setting — no special tooling needed. IP40 protection means it's for indoor use in a closed panel — not for washdown areas or outdoor cabinets without a secondary enclosure. IK07 impact resistance handles light knocks during panel assembly, but don't drop a wrench on it. Compliance documentation is straightforward: it carries EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit-breaker standard) and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (motor-starter standard) approvals. That covers both the overcurrent protection and the motor-switching duty in one device. The 25 A rated current is the headline number, but the motor power table tells you what motor it actually drives: 5.5 kW at 400 V, 7.5 kW at 500 V, up to 18.5 kW at 690 V. Electrical durability is 40,000 cycles at AC-3 with half-rated current, and 20,000 cycles at full rated current. That's the mechanical life of the contacts under motor-switching duty. For a panel that cycles a conveyor motor once every two minutes, that's roughly 67 days of continuous operation at full load — plan spares accordingly if your duty cycle is high. The magnetic trip range of 150...350 A is adjustable (via internal settings) and sets the instantaneous short-circuit threshold. That's roughly 6 to 14 times the rated current — typical for motor inrush. If your motor's locked-rotor current is near the low end of that range, you may need to dial the trip up to avoid nuisance trips on start.","metaTitle":"Schneider GV4LE25B TeSys Deca Motor Circuit Breaker, 25 A, 3","metaDescription":"Schneider GV4LE25B TeSys Deca motor circuit breaker, 25 A rated current, 3-pole, 50 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.

The closest sibling is the GV4LE20B (20 A) for smaller motors or the GV4LE32B (32 A) for larger ones. All share the same physical footprint, terminal specs, and breaking capacity profile — the difference is the continuous current rating and the motor power table. No pin-compatible drop-in exists across different TeSys series (e.g., TeSys U or TeSys GV2) because the mounting and wiring differ."},{"question":"What is the depth of the GV4LE25B?","answer":"The GV4LE25B has a depth of 116 mm. That's the dimension from the mounting surface to the front of the device — important for enclosure depth clearance, especially when leaving room for cable bending radius below the terminals."},{"question":"What compliance standards does the GV4LE25B meet?","answer":"The GV4LE25B is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit-breaker standard) and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (motor-starter standard). It also meets IEC 60695-2-11 for glow-wire fire resistance at 960 °C and IACS for climatic withstand. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60947-2 applies. No specific UL or CSA listing is stated in the available documentation, so verify with your local Schneider representative if UL compliance is required for your jurisdiction."},{"question":"What is the GV4LE25B's range and series?","answer":"The GV4LE25B belongs to the TeSys Deca range, specifically the TeSys GV4 series of motor circuit breakers. It's part of Schneider Electric's modular motor-protection platform, designed for panel mounting alongside TeSys contactors and overload relays."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GV4LE25B","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/GV4LE25B when reusing this data.
