Product details

The GV2ME08K2BW3 is a TeSys GV2-ME reversing DOL combination starter — a single-block unit that packages a motor circuit breaker, a 3-pole reversing contactor, and a GV2AF01 auxiliary block into one DIN-rail assembly. The thermal protection adjustment range is 2.5-4 A, and the control circuit runs on 24 V DC. It is rated for AC-3 duty (motor switching) and carries a breaking capacity of 50 kA at 400/415 V AC, certified to IEC 60947-4-1.

This code is marked Obsolete by Schneider Electric.

What the ratings drive in a panel

Breaking capacity is 50 kA at 400 V. Thermal adjustment range is 2.5-4 A. Magnetic trip is fixed at 51 A. Coil voltage is 24 V DC. Width is 45 mm.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest replacement for GV2ME08K2BW3?

No official successor order code is published by Schneider Electric for this specific code. A parametric substitute from the same TeSys GV2 family would need to match the 2.5-4 A thermal range, 24 V DC coil, reversing configuration, and 50 kA breaking capacity — but no direct pin-compatible drop-in is confirmed.
