Product details

The GV4LE50N6 is a 3-pole motor circuit breaker from Schneider's TeSys GV4 family, rated 50 A continuous and built to protect motor circuits up to 22 kW at 400 V or 45 kW at 690 V. The magnetic trip window is adjustable from 300 to 700 A, so you set the instantaneous pickup just above the motor's inrush without nuisance tripping on a hard start.

Standards and approvals — what they certify

That dual standard is the key: it acts as both a motor disconnect with overload protection and a branch-circuit short-circuit protective device.

Integration notes — mounting and wiring

Terminal lugs accept cable from 1.5 to 95 mm², with tightening torque of 5 N·m for the smaller wires and 9 N·m for the heavier ones. The connection pitch is 27 mm without spreaders, 35 mm with — that matters when you're laying out a multi-breaker lineup and need to match busbar spacing. Operating position is any orientation, which gives flexibility in tight enclosures. The mechanical durability is 40,000 cycles, electrical durability 20,000 at AC-3 duty at half load, so it's built for frequent switching in conveyor or pump applications.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for this motor circuit breaker?

Rated current 50 A, breaking capacity 100 kA at 240 V AC and 50 kA at 415 V AC per IEC 60947-2. Motor power ranges from 11 kW at 400 V up to 45 kW at 690 V. Magnetic trip adjustable 300–700 A.

What standards does the GV4LE50N6 comply with?

It is certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (motor starters) and EN/IEC 60947-2 (circuit breakers), plus suitability for isolation per IEC 60947-1. Pollution degree 3 rated.

What is the closest alternative to the GV4LE50N6 in the TeSys GV4 family?

The GV4LE50N6 is the 50 A variant in the GV4L sub-series with magnetic-electronic trip. The closest sibling is the GV4LE40N6 (40 A) or GV4LE63N6 (63 A) — same frame, same breaking capacity, same mounting footprint, just different current ratings. The trip unit is not field-adjustable to a different In, so select the exact amp rating your motor FLA requires.
