Motor starter GV2ME push-in actuator 2.5-4A screw terminals GV2ME08

Motor starter – reliable protection and control

The GV2ME08 motor starter is a key element in protecting electrical installations powering motors. Designed by Schneider Electric, it combines overload, short-circuit, and phase failure protection, providing comprehensive protection for connected devices. It is ideal for both professional and home installations.

Construction and application

The GV2ME08 starter is designed to control motors up to 1.5 kW (at 400/415V). Its thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism provides a quick response to abnormalities in the circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and downtime. Equipped with a push-button drive, it allows for convenient switching on and off of the motor. Screw terminals provide a solid and secure connection of the wires. A lock in the OFF position further increases safety.

Key features and benefits

• Versatile protection: Protection against overload, short circuit and phase failure in one device – saving space and costs.
• High breaking capacity: Short-circuit capacity up to 100 kA at 400V ensures effective protection even in the event of serious disturbances in the network.
• Precise adjustment: Overload trip adjustment range of 2.5-4A allows adaptation to specific application needs.
• Solid construction: Made of high-quality materials guarantees durability and reliability even in harsh conditions.
• Easy installation: Possibility of mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail or panel (with adapter) facilitates installation and integration with existing infrastructure.
• Safe use: Lock in the OFF position prevents accidental starting of the motor during maintenance or repair.
• Wide range of operating voltages: Suitable for operation in networks with a rated voltage from 230 to 690 V AC.

Technical parameters – what you should know

The GV2ME08 starter is characterized by a rated continuous current Iu of 4A and a rated operating power for AC-3 of 1.5 kW at 400V. Its power losses are only 2.5 W, which translates to efficient energy use. The IP20 protection class provides protection against finger contact, and compliance with EN/IEC 60947-2 and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 standards guarantees safety and reliability. The device also has IECEE CB Scheme, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, ATEX, BV, LROS (Lloyds register of shipping), DNV-GL and RINA certificates confirming its high quality and compliance with international standards.
