Product details

The GV2ME20AP: Rated at 18 A continuous, it carries motor loads up to 7.5 kW at 400/415 V AC and 15 kW at 690 V AC, making it a fit for medium-horsepower induction motors in pump, fan, and conveyor applications.

Breaking capacity is 100 kA Icu at 230/240 V AC, dropping to 15 kA at 400/415 V and 3 kA at 690 V. At 400 V, that 15 kA SCCR is sufficient for most industrial panel bus faults — verify against your transformer size and upstream protection.

Snaps onto 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail or screws to a panel with an adaptor plate. Power circuit terminals accept up to 6 mm² solid or 4 mm² flexible with ferrule, two cables per clamp. Tightening torque is 1.7 N·m — a standard screwdriver setting, no special tooling.

IP20 finger-safe enclosure, IK04 impact resistance. Certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit-breaker standard) and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (motor-starter standard), plus UL 60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. That dual IEC/UL/CSA coverage means it qualifies for panels destined for North America or Europe without a second-source swap. Phase-failure sensitive per IEC 60947-4-1 — it will trip on loss of one phase, protecting the motor from single-phasing. Electrical durability is 100,000 cycles under AC-3 load at 415 V; mechanical durability matches at 100,000 cycles.

Frequently asked questions

What is the GV2ME20AP's depth?

The depth is 78.5 mm, which is the dimension from the DIN-rail mounting face to the front of the enclosure.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for the GV2ME20AP?

The part carries certifications to EN/IEC 60947-2, EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. Schneider provides the corresponding declarations of conformity and UL/CSA file numbers for these standards.

What motor power does the GV2ME20AP cover?

It covers 7.5 kW at 400/415 V AC, 9 kW at 500 V AC, and 15 kW at 690 V AC, all at 50 Hz.
