The GV2ME08K1U7 is a TeSys GV2-ME direct-on-line combination starter from Schneider Electric — a motor circuit breaker, combination block, and 3-pole contactor in one assembly, non-reversing, with a 230/240 V AC 50/60 Hz control coil. Thermal protection adjusts from 2.5 to 4 A, and the magnetic trip is fixed at 51 A. The AC-3 utilisation category rating means it is sized for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors under load — the 1.1 kW at 400/415 V AC is the real-world motor power it handles in that duty.
Coordination is Type 1, meaning after a fault the contactor may need replacement but the circuit breaker resets; acceptable for production lines where a quick swap is planned.
The combination block GV2AF01 is included in the assembly, so the contactor and breaker are mechanically interlocked and pre-wired; you land the incoming line and outgoing motor leads directly. Control voltage is 230/240 V AC, so the coil is compatible with common European and North American control transformers.
