The Schneider GV2DP206B7 is a reversing motor starter from the TeSys Deca range — a factory-assembled combination of a GV2P motor circuit breaker, a 3-pole reversing contactor, and a GV2AF3 mechanical interlock block. It's a single-unit reversing starter that handles the forward-reverse switching and overload protection for a small motor in one package. Rated for AC-3 duty (motor switching), the thermal protection adjustment range is 1 to 1.6 A, so it's sized for a motor drawing roughly 0.55 kW at 400/415 V or 0.75 kW at 500 V. The magnetic trip is fixed at 22.5 A — that's the instantaneous short-circuit release, not adjustable. Breaking capacity is 130 kA at 400/415 V, 440 V, and 500 V per IEC 60947-4-1. That's a Type 2 coordination rating — meaning the starter survives a fault at those levels without damage to the contactor or breaker, just a blown fuse upstream if used in a fused configuration.
Sourcing and fit for your panel
Panel cutout dimensions are 90 mm wide by 176.4 mm high, with a depth of 105.6 mm — that's the full depth including the contactor and interlock block. Compliance documentation for this series includes IEC 60947-4-1 (the standard for motor starters and contactors) and the usual CE marking for European markets. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Schneider's legacy documentation archives.
