Product details

The GV2ME08K2U7 is a DOL reversing combination motor starter from the Schneider TeSys GV2-ME range. It integrates a 3-pole motor circuit breaker, a reversing contactor, and a combination block (GV2AF01) into a single unit, rated for AC-3 utilisation category — the standard for squirrel-cage motor switching. Thermal protection adjusts from 2.5 to 4 A, with a magnetic trip fixed at 51 A for short-circuit clearance.

Breaking capacity is 50 kA at 400/415 V AC conforming to IEC 60947-4-1 — that means this starter can safely interrupt a fault current up to 50 kA without welding its contacts or cascading damage upstream. The coordination type is Type 1, so after a short-circuit the starter may need contact replacement, but the breaker and contactor remain functional. Motor power ratings span 1.1 kW at 400 V through 2.2 kW at 500 V, which maps to a small pump, fan, or conveyor motor in a 400 V three-phase line. The 45 mm width (3-module DIN footprint) fits standard enclosure cutouts; overall dimensions are 152 mm high by 87 mm deep.

Frequently asked questions

What is the thermal protection range and magnetic trip setting?

The thermal adjustment range is 2.5 to 4 A. The magnetic short-circuit trip is fixed at 51 A, which provides instantaneous protection for motor starting inrush.

What breaking capacity does this starter have?

It is rated for 50 kA at 400/415 V AC, 440 V AC, and 500 V AC, all conforming to IEC 60947-4-1. This is a high-fault rating suitable for industrial distribution panels with high available short-circuit current.

What is the control voltage for this reversing starter?

The coil is rated for 230/240 V AC 50/60 Hz. This is a line-voltage coil, so it connects directly to the phase-to-neutral supply without a control transformer.
