The GV2DM102BD is a TeSys Deca direct-on-line (DOL) motor starter from Schneider Electric, combining a 3-pole contactor, a GV2ME motor circuit breaker, and a GV2AF3 combination block in one assembly. It is a non-reversing starter rated for AC-3 utilization, meaning it is designed for starting and stopping squirrel-cage induction motors under load — the standard duty for conveyor, pump, and fan drives. The thermal protection adjustment range of 0.16…0.25 A sets the overload trip point for the connected motor. This is the spec that decides fit: if your motor full-load current falls outside that window, this starter cannot protect it. The magnetic trip is fixed at 2.4 A, clearing short-circuit faults upstream of the overload curve.
Rated breaking capacity is 50 kA at 400/415 V, 440 V, and 500 V, all conforming to IEC 60947-4-1. Type 1 coordination means the starter is not expected to remain serviceable after a fault at its maximum rating; the contactor and breaker may need replacement, but the rest of the panel is protected.
The GV2DM102BD measures 45 mm wide, 99.6 mm deep, and 176.4 mm tall. Depth of 99.6 mm means it clears most 120 mm deep enclosures, but verify clearance for wiring ducts and the combination block projection.
