It is rated for AC-3 duty (squirrel-cage motor switching) and covers motor loads from 1.1 kW at 400/415 V up to 2.5 kW at 500 V, depending on the supply voltage. The thermal protection adjustment range is 2.5 to 4 A, with a fixed magnetic trip threshold of 51 A for short-circuit protection. The breaking capacity reaches 130 kA at 400/415 V, 440 V, and 500 V per IEC 60947-4-1 — high enough for most industrial distribution panels without upstream current-limiting fuses. The unit is Type 2 coordinated, meaning the contactor remains serviceable after a fault at the rated breaking capacity — no welding or damage that requires replacement.
If a direct drop-in replacement exists within the current TeSys range, it would need to be verified against the original panel layout and coordination study — the 2.5–4 A thermal band and 24 VAC coil are the critical fit parameters.
The GV2DP208B7 occupies a 90 mm wide footprint on the DIN rail, with a height of 176.4 mm and depth of 105.6 mm. The reversing contactor pair and the circuit breaker share the same mounting base, so the assembly arrives pre-wired internally — no need to build the reversing interlock from separate contactors. The 24 VAC coil draws from the control transformer; verify that the transformer VA rating covers the inrush of both contactors when the reversing direction is switched. The unit is designed for panel mounting with screw-clamp terminals on the power and control sides.
