The GV2DM132B7 is a non-reversing DOL combination starter from the TeSys Deca range, integrating a GV2ME motor circuit breaker, a GV2AF3 combination block, and a 3-pole contactor in one unit. It provides thermal protection adjustable from 24 to 32 A and is rated for AC-3 utilization category, meaning it is designed for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors under load. The magnetic trip is set at 416 A, clearing short circuits before the contactor welds.
Rated breaking capacity (Iq) is 10 kA at 400/415 V per IEC 60947-4-1, dropping to 6 kA at 440 V and 4 kA at 500 V. This is a Type 1 coordination — after a fault the starter may need component replacement, but it will not cause a fire or shock hazard. For a panel builder, that means the upstream protection (fuse or MCCB) must be selected to keep fault energy within this curve, or step up to a Type 2 coordinated assembly if production uptime demands it.
Motor power coverage
The unit covers 15 kW at 400/415 V and 440 V, and 18.5 kW at 500 V — all at 50/60 Hz. The 24 V AC control coil matches common control transformer outputs in industrial panels, but note it is AC only; a DC coil variant would be a different order code.
Physical integration
Dimensions are 186.8 mm high, 45 mm wide, and 105.9 mm deep. Height is the main constraint when fitting into shallow enclosures or gland-plate clearance zones.
