The GV2DP232B7 is a TeSys Deca reversing motor starter combination — a factory-assembled unit that pairs a GV2P motor circuit breaker, a 3-pole reversing contactor, and a GV2AF3 combination block into one package. Thermal protection adjusts from 24 to 32 A, and the coil pulls 24 V AC at 50/60 Hz. Rated motor power hits 15 kW at 400/415 V and 440 V, and 18.5 kW at 500 V, all in AC-3 duty (squirrel-cage motor switching). Breaking capacity is 50 kA at 400/415 V per IEC 60947-4-1, dropping to 20 kA at 440 V and 10 kA at 500 V. This is a Type 2 coordination assembly — meaning under short-circuit conditions the contactor remains operable after clearing the fault, no contact welding. The magnetic trip threshold is set at 416 A.
For a BOM freeze or line-down replacement, the official successor from the same TeSys Deca family is the GV2DP232B7 itself — no direct drop-in upgrade has been published under a different order code. A parametric cross-reference to a current TeSys Deca reversing starter with equivalent thermal range and coil voltage is the practical path for new designs.
The unit measures 90 mm wide by 186.8 mm high by 111.9 mm deep. That depth matters for gland-plate clearance in shallow enclosures — 111.9 mm is the full body depth including any overhang from the combination block. Width at 90 mm fits a standard DIN-rail footprint with room for side-by-side mounting against other TeSys Deca devices.
