The GV2ME16K2P7 is a reversing DOL combination starter from the TeSys GV2-ME range — a single-assembly unit that pairs a motor circuit breaker with a reversing contactor block. It's built for three-phase induction motors up to 5.5 kW at 400/415 V AC (7.5 kW at 500 V AC), with a thermal protection adjustment window of 9 to 14 A. Rated AC-3 (the standard duty for squirrel-cage motors), this starter handles the high inrush of starting and the lower running current without nuisance tripping. The magnetic trip is fixed at 170 A — that's the instantaneous short-circuit release, sized to ride through motor start without opening on normal inrush. Coordination is Type 1 — the starter may need contact replacement after a fault, but the downstream motor stays protected.
What's in the box — the assembly
This is a pre-assembled reversing combination: one GV2ME motor circuit breaker, one GV2AF01 combination block, and one 3-pole reversing contactor. The breaker provides thermal and magnetic protection; the contactor handles the forward/reverse switching.
