Schneider Electric GV2ME05 Industrial Motor Starter

Schneider Electric GV2ME05 motor protection switch is a three-pole, thermomagnetic manual motor starter with an integrated overload, designed to protect small motors while providing local on/off control for small to medium-sized motors. It uses a push-button actuated interface and provides an adjustable thermal overload setting in the 0.63–1 A range to suit the motor's startup and running current. The GV2ME05 employs screw-clamp terminals for reliable wiring and is intended for quick DIN-rail mounting on 35 mm profiles, making it a compact, plug-in option in control panels. As part of Schneider Electric's TeSys GV2 family, GV2ME05 functions as a motor protection switch that can be paired with other GV2 devices and is listed as a replacement for the GV2M05 in various catalogs. Typical applications include protecting small three-phase motors in pumps, fans, conveyors, and other machinery in industrial control panels where local protection and manual control are required.
