Product details

The Schneider GV3P18 is a 3-pole motor circuit breaker in the TeSys Deca range, rated 18 A with thermal-magnetic trip and 100 kA breaking capacity at 400/415 V AC. It serves as a combination motor protector: disconnect switch, overload relay, and short-circuit protection in a single DIN-rail or panel-mount unit. Rated for motor loads up to 7.5 kW at 400 V AC or 15 kW at 690 V AC, covering common pump, fan, and compressor applications.

Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides inverse-time overload protection and instantaneous magnetic trip at 252 A for short circuits. Phase failure sensitivity is built in per IEC 60947-4-1. Electrical durability is rated at 50,000 cycles under AC-3 (motor) switching at rated current — sufficient for typical motor start/stop duty in production lines. Overall depth of 136 mm (5.4 in) requires adequate enclosure clearance; panel height of 132 mm and width of 55 mm fit snugly on standard backplates.

Compliance certifications include EN/IEC 60947-2, EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. Fire resistance tested to 960 °C (IEC 60695-2-11). IP20 finger-safe terminals with IK09 impact resistance for enclosed mounting.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for the GV3P18?

The GV3P18 carries certifications to EN/IEC 60947-2, EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1. Fire resistance per IEC 60695-2-11 and IP20 protection are also certified.

What is the color and depth of the GV3P18?

The GV3P18 is dark grey (Schneider's standard for TeSys Deca). Its depth is 5.4 inches (136 mm), which is important for enclosure clearance when mounting on backplate or DIN rail.

What breaking capacity does the GV3P18 provide?

The GV3P18 offers 100 kA breaking capacity at 230/240 V and 400/415 V AC, 50 kA at 440 V, 12 kA at 500 V, and 6 kA at 690 V per IEC 60947-2.
