The Schneider TeSys GV2LC0214R is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter combining a circuit breaker and magnetic trip unit in a single IP54 polycarbonate enclosure. It is rated for a 10 A thermal protection adjustment range and delivers a 100 kA breaking capacity at 400–415 V per IEC 60947-2, meaning it can safely interrupt high fault currents on a 400 V distribution system without upstream coordination issues.
The 10 A thermal protection adjustment range sets the overload trip point for the connected motor — sized for a motor drawing up to 10 A full-load current. The magnetic trip unit provides instantaneous short-circuit protection, with the 100 kA Icu at 400–415 V ensuring the starter withstands and clears severe faults without exploding or welding contacts. The IP54 rating means the enclosure is dust-protected and splash-proof, suitable for washdown areas or outdoor installations where the starter is not directly hosed. The polycarbonate housing resists corrosion and UV, making it a fit for food processing, chemical plants, or coastal environments. Cable entry accommodates up to 2 x 25 mm² ISO at the bottom and 2 x 20 mm² ISO at the top, giving flexibility for incoming supply and outgoing motor cables. The rotary red handle provides local lockout capability with up to three 8 mm padlocks in the OFF position, meeting OSHA lockout/tagout requirements.
This enclosed DOL starter is designed for controlling and protecting three-phase motors in industrial machinery, conveyors, pumps, fans, and compressors. It mounts directly on a wall or machine frame via the enclosure's integral fixing points — no separate panel or DIN rail needed. The non-reversing configuration suits applications where motor direction is fixed.
