The Schneider Electric TeSys GV2P20KD25G7 is a direct-on-line motor starter with a rotary knob control, integrating a 3-pole contactor and thermal-magnetic protection into a single 45 mm wide unit for DIN-rail or panel mounting. Rated at 18 A line current, this starter handles 7.5 kW at 400/415 V AC and up to 15 kW at 690 V AC in AC-3 duty. The magnetic trip is set at 223 A, covering motor inrush without nuisance tripping on start. Breaking capacity reaches 100 kA at 230/240 V (Icu per IEC 60947-2), dropping to 50 kA at 400/415 V and 4 kA at 690 V.
Clips onto 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail or mounts directly to the panel with two M4 screws. At 45 mm wide and 89 mm tall, three of these fit in a standard 150 mm enclosure depth with room for cable entry below. Screw-clamp terminals accept 1 to 6 mm² solid or stranded wire. Tighten to 1.7 N·m — no special tooling needed for a panel builder. Rated IP20, so it's for inside the enclosure only. Pollution degree 3 means it handles conductive dust and condensation in typical industrial cabinets.
Compliance is broad: UL 508, IEC 60947-1/2/4-1, CSA C22.2, EN 60204, and VDE 0660. That covers North American, European, and many Asian regulatory gates in one part number.
