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.
