The Schneider Electric GV2LC02 is an empty enclosure from the TeSys GV2LC series — a polycarbonate housing with a black rotary handle mounted on the cover, designed to accept a separate circuit breaker and contactor to build a manual motor starter. It is a 3-pole, non-reversing configuration, shipped without the internal starter components. Rated IP54 per IEC 60529, the enclosure is protected against dust ingress and splashing water from any direction — suitable for installation in industrial environments where washdown or airborne particulates are present, though not for sustained hose-down or submersion.
Panel integration and cable entry
The enclosure measures 173 mm deep, 88 mm wide, and 166 mm tall. Cable entry is provided via ISO knockouts: two 20 mm and two 25 mm at both the top and bottom faces, giving flexibility for top-entry or bottom-entry conduit runs without additional gland plates. The polycarbonate body is lighter than steel equivalents and does not require a separate earth bond for the enclosure itself, though the internal metallic components (circuit breaker, contactor) must be bonded per local code.
Because this is an empty enclosure, the buyer must pair it with a compatible circuit breaker (e.g., TeSys GV2 series) and contactor (e.g., TeSys D series) to complete the motor starter assembly. The thermal protection adjustment range of 1.6...18 A on the enclosure listing refers to the range of breakers that can be installed, not a built-in adjustment. For a BOM line, confirm that the breaker and contactor footprint fit within the 88 mm width and 173 mm depth.
