The Schneider Electric TeSys GV2P20KD25B7 is a direct on-line motor starter combining a contactor and thermal-magnetic overload relay in a single 45 mm wide package. It is rated for 18 A line current and handles motor loads up to 7.5 kW at 400/415 V AC or 15 kW at 690 V AC, making it a fit for three-phase induction motors driving pumps, conveyors, and compressors in industrial control panels. The magnetic trip is set at 223 A, providing short-circuit protection coordinated with the thermal overload curve. Breaking capacity reaches 100 kA Icu at 230/240 V and 50 kA at 400/415 V per IEC 60947-2, which means it can safely interrupt high fault currents without upstream fuses in most distribution scenarios. The unit clips onto 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail or mounts with two M4 screws — the DIN rail option keeps panel layout flexible and speeds replacement.
This starter carries approvals under UL 508, IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-2, IEC 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2, and EN 60204, covering the major North American and European industrial control standards.
At 45 mm wide and 89 mm tall, the GV2P20KD25B7 occupies a single modular DIN-rail pitch, leaving room for auxiliary contact blocks or a separate control transformer on the same rail. Screw-clamp terminals accept 1 to 6 mm² solid or stranded wire, torqued to 1.7 N·m. Rated for continuous duty per IEC 60947-4-1 with an electrical durability of 100,000 cycles in AC-3 at 440 V and mechanical durability of 100,000 cycles. The maximum operating rate of 25 cycles per hour is adequate for most motor starting applications but should be checked against frequent jogging or inching duty.
