The 2.5...4 A thermal protection range sets the motor full-load current window. This starter is sized for small induction motors: 1.1 kW at 400/415 V AC, 1.5 kW at 440 V, and up to 2.2 kW at 500 V. The magnetic trip is fixed at 51 A — that's the instantaneous short-circuit pickup, well above the thermal range to avoid nuisance tripping on motor inrush. Breaking capacity is 50 kA at 400/415/440/500 V AC, certified to IEC 60947-4-1. The 110 V AC control coil is a common voltage in legacy European panel designs.
Where the TeSys GV2-ME class is used
This DOL combination starter is designed for direct-on-line starting of three-phase squirrel-cage motors in industrial control panels. The integrated design — breaker, contactor, and auxiliary block in one package — saves DIN-rail space and wiring time compared to separate components. Typical applications include small conveyors, pumps, fans, and compressors up to 2.2 kW.
