Motor starter GV2ME..AP 2.5-4A screw terminals GV2ME08AP

Motor starter – reliable protection for your motors. This three-pole motor starter GV2ME08AP from Schneider Electric is a key element in protecting electrical installations powering motors. Designed to operate in AC networks, it offers effective protection against overloads and short circuits, ensuring continuity of operation and minimizing the risk of failure. Screw terminals facilitate installation and connection of wires, and the compact dimensions allow for installation even in limited spaces.

Functionality and technical parameters

The GV2ME08AP starter is characterized by an overload release setting range of 2.5 to 4A, allowing for precise adjustment to the load characteristics. The rated continuous current of 4A and the high short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu 100kA at 400V AC) guarantee reliable operation in demanding conditions. The thermal-magnetic tripping method ensures a quick response to sudden current changes, protecting the motor from damage. Additional phase failure sensitivity increases installation safety by detecting potential power supply problems.

• Setting range: 2.5 - 4 A – ideal for motors up to 1.5 kW (400V AC).
• Breaking capacity: 100 kA at 400V AC – high resistance to short-circuit currents.
• Thermal protection: protects the motor from overheating and winding damage.
• Phase failure sensitivity: increases safety and detects voltage asymmetry.
• Screw terminals: provide solid and durable connection of wires with a cross-section from 1 to 6 mm².
• Degree of protection IP20: protection against touching with a finger and solid objects with a diameter greater than 12.5 mm.
• High mechanical and electrical endurance: guarantees long-term and trouble-free operation (100,000 AC-3 cycles).

Installation and application

The GV2ME08AP starter is designed for mounting on a 35mm DIN rail or directly on a panel (using an appropriate mounting plate). A wide range of certificates (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC) confirms compliance with international safety and quality standards. Thanks to its compact dimensions (89x45x78.2 mm) and low weight (0.26 kg), installation is simple and convenient. The product meets the requirements of EN/IEC 60947-2 and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 standards, which guarantees its reliability in various industrial and commercial applications. TeSys GV2ME starters are also compliant with the RoHS and REACH directives, demonstrating the manufacturer's concern for the natural environment.
