Key Features
Micro-frame design: Part of the GV2M series, it offers a compact design that saves space in the control cabinet.
Comprehensive Protection:
Thermal Overload Protection: A bimetallic strip mechanism provides inverse-time protection matched to the motor's thermal characteristics (the longer the overload duration, the faster the tripping).
Electromagnetic Short-Circuit Protection: An electromagnetic coil provides instantaneous tripping to handle high-amplitude short-circuit currents.
Manual Isolation: An operating handle safely isolates the motor from the power supply for easy maintenance.
Ambient Temperature Compensation: The thermal protection element is temperature-compensated, ensuring the stability of the protection curve under varying ambient temperatures.
Status Indication: Clear "Closed/Opened/Tripped" position indication is provided. When tripped due to an overload, a distinct red indicator appears, indicating the need for manual reset.
Accessory Compatibility: Compatible with a variety of accessories, such as:
Auxiliary Contacts (OF): Used to remotely transmit circuit breaker status (e.g., tripped) to a PLC or indicator light.
Shunt Trip (SD): Used to remotely electrically disconnect the circuit breaker.
Cover (CV): Enhances safety and protection.
