Schneider Electric GV2ME053 Motor Starter Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric GV2ME053 is a 3-pole motor starter circuit breaker from the TeSys GV2 family that combines motor protection with manual switching for industrial three‑phase motors. It is commonly installed in motor control centers, conveyors, pumps, compressors, fans, and automated production equipment to provide overload and short‑circuit protection along with controlled starting. Key specifications include an adjustable current range of 0.63 to 1 A, rated operational voltage up to 690 V AC, and motor power up to 0.37 kW at 400/415 V AC. The unit uses a thermal‑magnetic trip, offers a breaking capacity of 100 kA Icu (up to 690 V AC), and features a push‑button control type with spring‑clamp terminals. It is 3‑pole, 50/60 Hz compatible, and mountable on 35 mm DIN‑rail or panel. This GV2ME053 serves as a reliable replacement in control panels, retrofits, and maintenance of industrial motor control and protection systems. Common replacements include Schneider Electric GV2ME05A, Siemens 3RV2011-1DA10, and Eaton PKZM0-1.
