The GV2ME08K2F7 is a DOL reversing combination starter from the TeSys GV2-ME range, integrating a GV2ME motor circuit breaker, a GV2AF01 combination block, and a 3-pole reversing contactor into a single assembly. Thermal protection adjusts from 2.5 to 4 A, and the control circuit runs on 110 V AC. This is a reversing starter — it handles forward/reverse motor control in one package, saving panel space over discrete components.
The 2.5...4 A thermal adjustment range sets the motor protection band — you set the dial to match your full-load current. This covers small three-phase motors in the 1.1 to 2.2 kW range at 400/415 V and 500 V supplies. Breaking capacity is 50 kA at 400/415 V and 500 V, certified to IEC 60947-4-1. That's high for a compact starter — it can interrupt a bolted fault up to 50 kA without upstream fuses or a bigger breaker, provided the coordination type (Type 1) is acceptable for your installation. Type 1 means the starter may not be serviceable after a fault; the contactor or breaker may need replacement. The magnetic trip is set at 51 A, which clears short-circuit conditions fast. The 3-pole design (3P) matches standard three-phase motor circuits. Dimensions are 45 mm wide, 152 mm high, 87 mm deep — a 45 mm footprint per pole, so it fits standard 45 mm-wide DIN-rail slots.
