Schneider Electric GV2-ME20C Motor Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric GV2-ME20C TeSys Deca is a three-pole motor circuit breaker that provides thermal-magnetic protection for small motors in control panels. It combines a thermal overload element with magnetic short-circuit protection, offering an adjustable overload/trip setting in the 13–18 A range to match motor nameplates, and is designed for AC-3/AC-3e motor-starting applications. The GV2-ME20C is rated for up to 690 V AC and uses screw-clamp terminals for secure wiring, with a push-button control for local motor start and stop. As part of the TeSys GV2 family, it is commonly used in conjunction with contactors in starter assemblies to protect pumps, fans, conveyors, and other line-powered motors in industrial environments. The unit’s compact 3P footprint and durable construction support reliable operation in panel installations, while Schneider Electric’s ecosystem ensures straightforward compatibility with accessories and replacement parts.
