Motor circuit breaker for 1.1 kW at 400 V
The Schneider Electric GV2P08AE11TQ is a TeSys Deca motor circuit breaker rated at 4 A, sized for a 1.1 kW motor at 400...415 V AC. Rated for AC-3 duty (motor switching), it handles 100,000 electrical cycles at 415 V at full rated current. The utilisation category AC-3e is also listed, covering enhanced motor switching for higher-performance applications. Phase failure sensitivity is built in per IEC 60947-4-1, so the breaker trips if one phase drops out — a common failure mode that can burn out a motor running single-phase.
The 45 mm wide body fits standard enclosure cutouts, and the rotary handle provides local manual control. Screw-clamp terminals accept up to 6 mm² solid or 4 mm² flexible with ferrule — torque to 1.7 N·m. The IP20 finger-safe enclosure suits panel-mount applications where the breaker is behind a locked door or cover. Built-in auxiliary contacts (1 NO + 1 NC) on the front allow remote status indication without adding a separate block.
