Schneider Electric GV2ME1 43 Motor Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric Telemecanique GV2ME143 motor circuit breaker is a three-pole thermal-magnetic device that protects and manually switches three-phase motors in industrial applications. It supports up to 690 V AC at 50/60 Hz and offers an adjustable thermal setting from 0.63 to 1 A, with a breaking capacity up to 100 kA Icu (application dependent). Mounted on 35 mm DIN rail or panel, it uses spring terminals and provides a rated insulation voltage of 690 V AC and an impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV. The unit operates in environments from -20°C to +60°C and carries an IP20 protection rating. Control is via a push-button ON/OFF, and the module is part of the TeSys GV2 / TeSys Deca family. It is commonly installed in motor control centers, conveyors, pumps, compressors, fans, and automated production equipment to provide dependable overload protection, short-circuit protection, and manual motor switching. Common replacements include Schneider Electric GV2ME14A, Siemens 3RV2011, and Eaton PKZM0-1.
