Overview
The GV4LE12S is a TeSys Deca frame-4 motor circuit breaker from Schneider, rated for 12.5 A switching current with a 120 kA breaking capacity at 690 V, covering a 3 kW motor load in AC-3 duty. It carries a magnetic-electronic trip unit, IP40 enclosure, and EverLink BTR screw terminals accepting up to 95 mm² cable on the load side.
Selection vs GV4LE25N
Compared to the GV4LE25N, the GV4LE12S trades a lower 12.5 A current rating for a higher 120 kA breaking capacity (vs 100 kA), making it the right pick when fault levels exceed 100 kA but the motor full-load current stays under 12.5 A.
