Schneider Electric GV2ME32 Manual Motor Starter

The Schneider Electric GV2ME32 Manual Motor Starter is a three-pole, thermal-magnetic motor starter from the TeSys GV2/TeSys Deca family designed to manually start and stop three-phase motors while providing overload and short-circuit protection in industrial control panels and motor control centers. It handles a 24–32 A adjustable thermal setting, supports up to 690 VAC, and matches motor power ranges up to 15 kW at 400/415 VAC, 18.5 kW at 500 VAC, and 22 kW at 690 VAC. With a 50 kA Icu breaking capacity at 230/240 VAC and lower ratings at higher voltages (10 kA at 400/415 VAC, 6 kA at 440 VAC, 4 kA at 500 VAC, 3 kA at 690 VAC), it uses screw clamp terminals and can mount on a 35 mm DIN rail or panel surface. The unit operates at 50/60 Hz, features an insulation voltage of 690 VAC and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, making it suitable for demanding industrial motor control and protection applications. Common replacements include Schneider Electric GV2ME32, Siemens 3RV2021, and Eaton PKZM0-32 Manual Motor Starter.
