Product details

The Schneider Electric GV2ME16K1U7 is a direct-on-line (DOL) combination motor starter from the TeSys GV2-ME range. It integrates a 3-pole motor circuit breaker and a contactor into one unit, with a thermal protection adjustment range of 9...14 A and a 230/240 V AC control circuit at 50/60 Hz. Rated for AC-3 utilisation category, it handles motor loads up to 5.5 kW at 400/415 V AC and 7.5 kW at 500 V AC. The magnetic tripping current is set at 170 A, providing short-circuit protection that coordinates with the contactor for Type 1 coordination.

Breaking capacity and fault protection

The GV2ME16K1U7 offers a breaking capacity of 15 kA at 400/415 V AC, 8 kA at 440 V AC, and 6 kA at 500 V AC, all conforming to IEC 60947-4-1.

The compact 45 mm width saves rail space compared to separate breaker-plus-contactor builds, and the fixed depth of 87 mm helps with enclosure depth planning.

Frequently asked questions

What is the thermal protection range and what does it mean for motor sizing?

The thermal protection adjustment range is 9...14 A. For a 400 V three-phase motor, this covers typical induction motors rated around 5.5 kW (full-load current roughly 11-12 A). Set the dial to match the motor nameplate FLA for overload protection.

What is the control circuit voltage requirement?

The control circuit (coil) is rated for 230/240 V AC at 50/60 Hz. Ensure your control transformer or supply matches this voltage — it is not a dual-voltage coil that also works at 110 V.

What breaking capacity does it offer at common industrial voltages?

At 400/415 V AC it breaks 15 kA; at 440 V AC it breaks 8 kA; at 500 V AC it breaks 6 kA — all per IEC 60947-4-1. This is the maximum prospective fault current the starter can safely interrupt at those voltages.
