Motor starter switch GV2ME..AP 0.25-0.4A screw terminals GV2ME03AP

Motor starter – reliable protection and motor control

This three-pole Schneider Electric GV2ME03AP motor starter is a key element in protecting the electrical installation powering motors. It provides effective protection against overload and short circuit, and also enables convenient motor control. The design adapted for DIN rail mounting allows for easy integration with existing systems.

Functionality and application

The GV2ME03AP starter is designed to protect motors with a power of up to 0.9 kW at 400V. The overload release setting range of 0.25-0.4A allows for precise adjustment to the load characteristics. Equipped with phase failure sensitivity, it further increases the safety of the installation. Thermomagnetic release method guarantees a quick reaction in case of a failure. Screw terminals ensure secure and durable electrical connections.

Key features and benefits

• Versatile application: ideal for protecting three-phase motors in various industrial and commercial applications.
• High breaking capacity: Icu 100kA at 400V ensures effective circuit disconnection in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage.
• Precise protection: overload release setting range of 0.25-0.4A allows for optimal adjustment to the motor load.
• Safety: phase failure sensitivity protects the motor from damage caused by the absence of one of the supply phases.
• Durability and reliability: made of high-quality materials guarantees a long service life of the device.
• Compact dimensions: only 45 mm wide makes it easy to mount in tight spaces.
• Compliance with standards: meets the requirements of many standards (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC), which confirms its safety and quality.
• Low power consumption: power consumption of only 2.5W minimizes the impact on the energy efficiency of the installation.

Technical parameters in practice

The starter is characterized by a rated continuous current Iu of 0.4A and a rated operating power for AC-3 of 0.06 kW at 230V and 0.09 kW at 400V. The depth of the device is 78.2 mm and the height is 89 mm – these dimensions should be taken into account when planning the installation. The IP20 degree of protection provides protection against finger contact and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
