Motor starter GV2ME push-in actuator 17-23A screw terminals GV2ME21

Motor starters – reliable protection and motor control

The GV2ME21 motor starter is a key element in protecting electrical installations powering motors. Designed by Schneider Electric, it combines overload, short-circuit protection and sensitive phase failure detection, providing comprehensive protection for connected devices. This three-pole starter, with a setting range of 17-23A, is ideal for applications requiring reliable control and safety.

Design and application

The GV2ME21 starter is characterized by a compact design in a housing, which facilitates installation and integration with existing systems. The push-button drive mechanism allows for convenient manual switching on and off of the motor. The use of screw terminals ensures secure and durable wire connections. The device is designed to operate in circuits with a rated voltage of 230-690V and allows for effective protection of motors with a power of up to 9 kW (at 400V).

Advantages and benefits

• Comprehensive protection: Protection against overload, short circuit and phase failure in one device – minimizes the risk of damage and downtime.
• High short-circuit capacity: Rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icu at 15kA guarantees safety even in the event of high short-circuit currents.
• Phase failure sensitivity: Fast reaction to loss of one of the supply phases protects the motor from damage caused by operation in incorrect conditions.
• Convenient control: Push-button drive allows easy manual switching on and off of the motor.
• Compact dimensions: Height 89 mm, width 45 mm and depth 78.2 mm allow for mounting in limited space.
• Durable connections: Screw terminals ensure stable and reliable wire connections.
• Motor power: Suitable for operation with motors up to 5.5 kW at 230V and up to 9 kW at 400V.
• Power loss: Low power loss of only 2.5W translates into energy savings.

The GV2ME21 starter is a solid solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for reliable protection of their electric motors. Its versatility, high quality workmanship and advanced protection features make it an optimal choice for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
