Product details

It switches motor loads up to 9 kW at 400 V AC or 11 kW at 500 V, and carries a 3-pole, 690 V insulation voltage rating.

Breaking capacity and trip characteristics

The GV2ME21A delivers 50 kA Icu at 230/240 V AC, dropping to 15 kA at 400/415 V and 3 kA at 690 V. For motor branch circuits, this covers most industrial fault currents up to the panel transformer. The magnetic trip is fixed at 341 A, ensuring instant clearing on high-current faults without nuisance tripping from motor inrush.

Width 45 mm, height 101 mm, depth 78.5 mm. IP20 on the front face keeps finger-safe access; IK04 impact rating handles light panel tool contact.
