The GV2ME10K1F7 is a direct-on-line (DOL) combination motor starter from the Schneider TeSys GV2-ME range. It integrates a 3-pole motor circuit breaker and a 3-pole contactor into one block, with a GV2AF01 auxiliary contact block included. The thermal protection adjustment range is 4…6.3 A, and the magnetic tripping current is fixed at 78 A — so it catches short-circuit faults fast while the thermal bimetal handles overloads according to the AC-3 utilisation category for squirrel-cage motors. The control circuit voltage is 110 V AC 50/60 Hz. Breaking capacity is 50 kA Iq at 400/415 V, 440 V, and 500 V AC, conforming to IEC 60947-4-1 — meaning it can safely interrupt fault currents up to 50 kA at those voltages without welding the contacts or rupturing the enclosure. Coordination type is Type 1, so after a fault the starter may need contact replacement, but the installation stays intact.
For a BOM freeze or line-down replacement, the key ratings to match are the thermal range (4…6.3 A), the 110 V AC coil, the 3-pole configuration, and the 50 kA breaking capacity at your supply voltage.
The 4…6.3 A thermal adjustment range covers motors with a full-load current in that band — typically a 2.2 kW motor at 400/415 V or 440 V, or a 3 kW motor at 500 V, as the motor power kW entries confirm. The 78 A magnetic trip is fixed and non-adjustable; it provides short-circuit protection without nuisance tripping on motor inrush, which for a 6.3 A full-load motor is roughly 12× the top of the thermal range — well above the typical 6-8× inrush multiplier. The 50 kA breaking capacity at 400/415 V, 440 V, and 500 V AC means this starter can be installed on systems with high available fault current — common in industrial distribution close to a transformer. The Type 1 coordination means the starter may be damaged after a fault, but the upstream protection (typically a circuit breaker or fuse) clears the fault without requiring a full panel rebuild.
