Schneider Electric GV2ME073 Motor Circuit Breaker

The GV2ME073 is a 3-pole motor circuit breaker from Telemecanique (Schneider Electric) in the TeSys GV2 / TeSys Deca family, pairing overload protection with manual motor control for three-phase motors in industrial settings. It is commonly installed in motor control centers (MCCs), conveyors, pumps, compressors, fans, mixers, packaging equipment, HVAC systems, and automated production lines for repair, replacement, retrofit, or ongoing automation maintenance. Key specifications include a 1.6–2.5 A adjustable thermal setting, a rated operational voltage of 230–690 V AC, and motor power ratings up to 0.75 kW at 400/415 V or 1.1 kW at 500 V. The device is 3-pole with a thermal-magnetic trip and push-button ON/OFF control. It provides a breaking capacity up to 100 kA Icu at 230–500 V AC (3 kA Icu at 690 V) and operates on 50/60 Hz networks. Mounting options include 35 mm DIN rails or panel mounting with an adapter plate; terminals are spring-type, and the enclosure carries IP20 protection across a –20°C to +60°C range. This unit serves industrial motor protection and protection systems, and is commonly used as a replacement or upgrade in equipment such as pumps, conveyors, fans, HVAC, and automated production machinery. Common replacements include Schneider Electric GV2ME07A, Siemens 3RV2011, and Eaton PKZM0-2.5 for compatible retrofits and maintenance.
