Schneider GV2ME10 12A-18A TeSys GV2 Series Motor Circuit Breakers

  • Product Item : GV2ME10 12A-18A
  • Product Brand : Schneider
  • INQUIRY

The Schneider Electric GV2ME10 (12A-18A) TeSys GV2 is the direct "bigger brother" to the GV2ME08, offering a higher current range for larger motors.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the GV2ME10 model.

Overview and Identity

Product Line: TeSys GV2

Manufacturer: Schneider Electric

Specific Model: GV2ME10

Current Range: 12A to 18A (Adjustable)

Product Type: Motor Circuit Breaker (MPCB)

This device serves the same critical functions as the GV2ME08 but is designed to protect motors with higher full-load amperage.

Key Features and Functions (Consistent with the GV2 Series)

Comprehensive Motor Protection:

Short-Circuit Protection (Magnetic): Instantaneous trip for high-current faults.

Overload Protection (Thermal): The adjustable dial from 12A to 18A allows precise setting to match the FLA of the motor it protects.

Safe Isolation:

The handle provides a clear, visible break for safe maintenance, complying with isolation standards.

Trip Class:

Typically Class 10A, allowing for motor startup inrush current without nuisance tripping.

Manual Control:

Clear ON/OFF handle for local motor control.

Auxiliary Contacts (Add-on):

Compatible with the same accessory contact blocks (e.g., GV2AF1, GV2AF2) to signal status to a control system.

Undervoltage Release (Add-on):

Can be fitted with a shunt trip or undervoltage release coil (e.g., GV2ME02) for automatic tripping on power loss.

Comparison with GV2ME08

The primary difference is the current rating:

Feature GV2ME08 GV2ME10

Current Range 9A - 13A 12A - 18A

Typical Motor Power (at 400V) ~ 4 kW (5.5 HP) ~ 7.5 kW (10 HP)

Physical Size Identical Identical

Accessory Compatibility Same (GV2AF1, GV2ME02, etc.) Same (GV2AF1, GV2ME02, etc.)

Note: The physical dimensions and mounting footprints for the GV2ME08 and GV2ME10 are identical. This allows for easy replacement or upgrade in a control panel without modifying the panel layout.

Typical Applications

The GV2ME10 is used for larger 3-phase motors, such as:

Larger Pumps and Compressors

Industrial Fans and Exhaust Systems

Heavy-Duty Conveyors

Mixers and Agitators

Machine Tools with more powerful motors
