The Schneider GV2ME05K1P7 is a TeSys GV2-ME direct-on-line (DOL) combination motor starter, integrating a motor circuit breaker, a combination block (GV2AF01), and a 3-pole contactor in one unit. It's a non-reversing starter sized for small motor loads, with a thermal protection adjustment range of 0.63 to 1 A. Rated for AC-3 utilisation category, it delivers motor power ratings of 0.25 kW and 0.37 kW at 400/415 V AC and 440 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Its breaking capacity is 50 kA Iq at both 400/415 V and 440 V AC, conforming to IEC 60947-4-1, with Type 1 coordination.
The 0.63...1 A thermal protection range is the critical selection parameter — it sets the overload trip point for the motor. A motor with a full-load current (FLA) between 0.63 and 1 A is the correct match; outside that band, the starter won't protect properly. The magnetic tripping current is fixed at 13 A, handling short-circuit protection.
The starter is a 3-pole unit with dimensions of 152 mm height, 45 mm width, and 87 mm depth. The combination block (GV2AF01) is pre-assembled, reducing wiring time — just connect the motor leads to the breaker output and the control voltage to the contactor coil.
