The Schneider Electric GV2RT06AE11TQ is a TeSys Deca GV2RT series motor circuit breaker, 3-pole, rated 1.6 A with a thermal-magnetic trip unit. The 1.6 A rating means this breaker protects small motors — it covers motor power from 0.18 kW at 230 V up to 1.1 kW at 690 V, depending on the supply voltage and whether it's motor or transformer duty. The thermal-magnetic trip gives both overload (thermal) and short-circuit (magnetic) protection in one device. That's useful for panels with high available fault current.
Accepts horizontal or vertical orientation. Power connections are screw-clamp terminals accepting up to 2 x 6 mm² solid or 2 x 4 mm² flexible with ferrule. The toggle control type gives manual on/off and trip-reset capability right on the front face. IK04 impact resistance handles incidental tool bumps during commissioning.
It's part of the TeSys Deca family, a widely used motor protection platform with good cross-reference support. The GV2RT06AE11TQ is the 1.6 A variant with auxiliary contacts included — the base GV2RT06 without the 'TQ' suffix omits the aux contacts.
Key ratings in context
Magnetic trip threshold is 33 A, about 20x the In, giving good short-circuit discrimination for motor starting inrush. Electrical durability is 100,000 cycles at AC-3 duty (415 V at rated current), matching the mechanical durability of 100,000 cycles. Power dissipation is 2.5 W per pole — 7.5 W total at full load, manageable in a standard enclosure. Climatic withstand conforms to IACS for marine and humid environments.
