GV2LE16 Motor Circuit Breaker — Key Specs at a Glance
The Schneider GV2LE16 is a 3-pole motor circuit breaker from the TeSys Deca range, rated at 14 A line current and purpose-built for motor protection. It provides magnetic tripping at 253.4 A for short-circuit protection and delivers a breaking capacity up to 100 kA at 230/240 V AC.
The 253.4 A magnetic trip setting means the breaker reacts instantly to high fault currents, clearing short circuits before motor or cable damage occurs. With up to 100 kA interrupting capacity at 230 V, the GV2LE16 handles severe short-circuit conditions typical in industrial panels, often allowing you to skip upstream current-limiting fuses. Rated for motor duty in AC-3 and AC-3e utilization categories, it handles the high inrush of induction motors while maintaining reliable overload protection.
Compliance documentation includes IEC 60947-2, IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1 — all standards your QA or shutdown planner will ask for.
