Schneider Electric TeSys GV2 — Motor Protection Circuit Breaker (MPCB)

Schneider Electric TeSys GV2 — Motor Protection Circuit Breaker (MPCB)

The Schneider Electric TeSys GV2 MPCB is a premium‑grade, three‑pole circuit breaker designed specifically to protect three‑phase motors from overloads, short circuits, and phase failures. Built to meet stringent industrial safety standards, the GV2 range delivers reliable motor protection with flexibility, compact design, and robust performance — making it ideal for motor-driven machinery, pumps, compressors, fans, and other industrial loads.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Thermal‑magnetic protection — The TeSys GV2 employs a thermal‑magnetic trip unit to detect both overload conditions (thermal) and high‑current short‑circuits or fault currents (magnetic), ensuring comprehensive protection of your motor circuits. iPortal2+1

• Three‑pole (3P) design for three‑phase motors — Ensures balanced protection across all phases, suitable for industrial three-phase motor applications. iPortal2+1

• Compact, DIN‑rail or panel mountable — Can be easily installed by clipping onto standard 35 mm DIN‑rail or screwed onto a panel (with adaptor), offering flexibility for panels and control cabinets. iPortal2+1

• Wide range of rating options — The GV2 line accommodates various current settings and motor sizes, making it suitable for small fractional‑HP motors to larger industrial motors. Parma India+2iPortal2+2

• Robust build and safety compliance — Meets international standards (IEC 60947‑1, IEC 60947‑2, IEC 60947‑4‑1) and conforms to industrial protection categories (AC‑3), ensuring reliability and safety in demanding conditions. iPortal2+2Emobella Shop+2

• Manual and remote control compatibility — Supports local manual operation; can also be combined with a contactor for remote or automatic motor control in starter configurations. Emobella Shop+1

• Lockable isolation function — Many variants allow N/C (normally closed) position locking with padlocks — useful for maintenance safety (e.g. lockout–tagout) when servicing motors or machinery. RS Components+1

📊 Typical Technical Specifications*

*Specifications vary slightly depending on the exact GV2 variant (current rating, trip unit setting, terminal type, etc.). Always verify against the variant’s datasheet for precise matching with your motor/load.

⚙️ Typical Applications

• Industrial three-phase motors (pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors)

• Manufacturing machines or equipment in factories and workshops

• Motor control panels and starters (especially when paired with a contactor + overload relay)

• Applications requiring reliable overload and short-circuit protection in compact control panels

• Retrofit or new installations in industrial and commercial setups
