Product details

The Schneider Electric TeSys GV4LE25N6 is a 3-pole motor circuit breaker rated 25 A continuous, with a magnetic electronic trip unit that operates between 150 and 350 A. That 25 A figure governs the full-load motor current it can carry without nuisance tripping — size it to the motor nameplate, not the upstream feeder. The 100 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC (Icu per IEC 60947-2) means it can safely interrupt a fault up to that level without the arc flashing over to adjacent devices; at 415 V the rating drops to 50 kA, still sufficient for most distribution-side faults in a 400 V panel. Certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1 for motor starters and EN/IEC 60947-2 for circuit breakers, so it serves as both the disconnecting means and the short-circuit protection in a single enclosure.

The GV4LE25N6 mounts in any position and occupies a 81 mm wide footprint on the DIN rail or panel. Depth is 116 mm, height 155 mm. Connection pitch is 27 mm without spreaders, 35 mm with — plan the gland plate and wireway clearance accordingly. Terminals accept lugs or ring terminals; tightening torque is 9 N·m for the main power cables (16–95 mm²) and 5 N·m for the control wiring (1.5–10 mm²). The IP40 enclosure keeps dust out but is not rated for washdown; install inside a sealed panel for wet environments. IK07 impact resistance handles accidental tool drops during commissioning.

Fully documented compliance: certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (motor starters) and EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit breakers). Climatic withstand per IACS. Fire resistance tested to 960 °C per IEC 60695-2-11. Operating altitude up to 5000 m without derating.

Frequently asked questions

What breaking capacity does it offer at 415 V?

At 380–415 V AC, the Icu is 50 kA per IEC 60947-2. This drops to 15 kA at 525 V and 8 kA at 690 V.

What is the closest alternative in the TeSys Deca family?

Within the same TeSys GV4 range, the GV4LE20N6 is the nearest sibling — identical form factor and breaking capacity, but with a 20 A rated current and a magnetic trip range of 120–280 A. The choice between the two is driven solely by the motor full-load current: use the 25 A for a 7.5 kW motor at 400 V, the 20 A for a 5.5 kW motor at the same voltage.

What compliance documentation is available?

The GV4LE25N6 carries declarations of conformity to EN/IEC 60947-4-1 and EN/IEC 60947-2. It is suitable for isolation per IEC 60947-1, and its fire resistance is certified to 960 °C per IEC 60695-2-11. Climatic withstand is per IACS. Standard RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is provided by Schneider Electric.
