The GV2ME01 is a compact, manual motor starter and protector designed to be installed directly at the motor location. It combines three functions in one device:
Isolation: It acts as a manual disconnect switch to safely isolate the motor from the power supply for maintenance.
Short-Circuit Protection: It trips instantly in the event of a heavy electrical fault (short circuit).
Overload Protection: It protects the motor from damage caused by drawing too much current for too long (overload), which leads to overheating.
It is part of Schneider Electric's popular TeSys GV2 range.
