Product Overview
It integrates a 3-pole motor circuit breaker and a 3-pole contactor into a single compact block, pre-wired and ready for panel mounting. The thermal protection adjustment range is 9...14 A, and the control circuit coil is rated for 220/230 V AC 50/60 Hz.
Rated for AC-3 utilization category, this starter handles the high inrush of squirrel-cage motors during starting. Motor power ratings reach 5.5 kW at 400/415 V AC and 7.5 kW at 500 V AC, so it's sized for common 3-phase induction motors in that power band. The magnetic tripping current is set at 170 A, providing short-circuit protection that coordinates with the thermal overload for Type 1 coordination. This is the rating that determines whether the starter can be used on a high-fault-capacity distribution board.
Integration Notes
The GV2ME16K1M7 is a non-reversing starter, so it's suited for fixed-speed applications like pumps, fans, and conveyors. The device composition includes the GV2AF01 combination block, the contactor, and the circuit breaker in one assembly, which simplifies panel wiring and reduces enclosure space compared to discrete components.
