Schneider Electric GV2-RT05 Motor Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric TeSys GV2RT05 is a three-pole motor circuit breaker (thermal-magnetic) in the TeSys GV2 family, designed to protect and switch automated motors in control panels. It is rated for 690 V AC and has a nominal current of 1 A, with a short-circuit interrupt capacity of 100 kA. The thermal protection is adjustable in a 0.63–1 A range to suit the motor’s overload characteristics, while the magnetic element provides rapid disconnection on short‑circuit events. The unit uses screw‑clamp terminals for solid, durable connections and can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel, making it suitable for compact motor control assemblies in machinery and conveyors. As part of the TeSys Deca series, GV2RT05 serves as both a manual starter and protector, enabling straightforward motor control with a toggle switch for on/off operation. Typical applications include protection of small to medium industrial motors in machines and production lines that experience high starting currents, where precise overload protection and reliable disconnection are essential.
