The Schneider TeSys GV2LC0210R is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) motor starter, combining a circuit breaker and magnetic trip unit in one IP54 polycarbonate housing. It's rated for 6.3 A thermal protection adjustment and delivers 100 kA Icu breaking capacity at 400...415 V per IEC 60947-2 — meaning it can safely interrupt a fault up to that level without cascading upstream, which is the figure that governs coordination in a distribution board. The red rotary handle provides local on/off control, and the enclosure accepts padlocks in the OFF position (up to three, 8 mm diameter) for lockout/tagout compliance. Cable entries are sized for 20 mm and 25 mm ISO glands at both top and bottom.
This is a non-reversing, 3-pole starter intended for fixed-speed motor loads — pumps, fans, conveyors — where you need overcurrent and short-circuit protection in a single enclosure. The IP54 rating means it handles dust and splashing water, so it's suited for floor-mounting near the machine rather than inside a sealed cabinet. Dimensions are 166 mm high, 88 mm wide, 173 mm deep, which fits a standard enclosure footprint with room for gland plates. Rated operational voltage goes to 690 V, covering common 400 V three-phase systems with headroom. The magnetic trip unit provides instantaneous short-circuit protection; thermal protection is fixed at 6.3 A, so verify your motor full-load current matches that setting before specifying.
Compliant with VDE 0660-102, IEC 60439-1, EN 60947, and IEC 60947-4 — the latter being the standard for contactors and motor-starters. The 100 kA Icu rating is certified per IEC 60947-2 across multiple voltage levels (220...230 V through 500 V), giving you selectivity headroom in most industrial installations.
