The Schneider GV2ME14K2BW3 is a TeSys GV2-ME reversing DOL combination starter — a single unit that bundles a 3-pole reversing contactor, a GV2ME motor circuit breaker, and a GV2AF01 mechanical interlock block. The 24 VDC control coil means it drops into existing 24 VDC control circuits common in modern panels — no separate AC supply needed for the contactor. The magnetic trip is fixed at 138 A, so short-circuit protection is baked in; you don't add a separate magnetic element.
At 440 V it's 15 kA; at 500 V it drops to 6 kA — so if your line runs at 500 V, verify the available fault current stays under that ceiling. Coordination is Type 1, meaning the starter may need contact replacement after a fault but the panel stays intact.
Lifecycle reality
This part is marked obsolete by Schneider. Factory production has stopped; new supply comes from surplus or broker channels. For a qualified BOM line, this is a last-time-buy candidate.
Dimensions are 152 mm high, 45 mm wide, 87 mm deep — standard DIN-rail footprint for the TeSys GV2 series. The 45 mm width means it occupies three 15 mm modular spaces on the rail. Panel builders will find the depth manageable for standard 200 mm deep enclosures; just watch clearance for the coil terminals and the manual reset button on the front face.
