Product details

Motor protection specifics

This breaker covers motor power from 1.1 to 1.5 kW at 400/415 V AC, and scales up to 2.2–3 kW at 690 V AC. Phase failure sensitivity is built in, per IEC 60947-4-1, so a lost phase on the line side will trip the breaker and protect the motor from single-phasing. Utilisation category AC-3 means it's rated for switching squirrel-cage motors during starting and running; AC-3e extends that to high-efficiency motor profiles.

The 45 mm width (3-module) fits standard enclosure cutouts. Screw-clamp terminals accept up to 6 mm² solid or 4 mm² flexible with ferrule, torqued to 1.7 N·m. IP20 finger-safe front, IK04 mechanical impact rating — suitable for enclosed panel use where occasional tool contact is expected.

Approvals and standards

Certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit-breaker standard) and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (contactor/motor-starter standard), plus UL 60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. That dual-approval coverage means it satisfies both IEC and North American code requirements for motor branch-circuit protection. Climatic withstand per IACS confirms suitability for marine and humid environments within the rated temperature range.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the GV2ME08AP?

100 kA Icu at 230/240 V, 400/415 V, 440 V, and 500 V AC (50 Hz) per IEC 60947-2. At 690 V it drops to 3 kA Icu.

What motor power range does the GV2ME08AP cover?

1.1 to 1.5 kW at 400/415 V AC, 1.5 to 2.2 kW at 500 V AC, and 2.2 to 3 kW at 690 V AC, all at 50 Hz.

Does the GV2ME08AP include phase failure protection?

Yes, phase failure sensitivity is built in per IEC 60947-4-1, so the breaker will trip on a lost phase to prevent single-phasing motor damage.
