Motor starter GZ1E push-button drive I=20-25A screw terminals GZ1E22

Motor starter switch for protection and control of motors

This three-pole motor starter switch with push-button operation, with a rated current adjustable in the range of 20-25A, is a reliable solution for protecting motors in various industrial and commercial applications. Designed by Schneider Electric, model GZ1E22 combines overload, short-circuit and phase failure protection, providing comprehensive protection of the installation and extending the life of connected devices.

Design and application

The GZ1E22 switch belongs to the EasyPact TVS series, which is characterized by simple installation and intuitive operation. Its compact dimensions (44.5 mm wide, 89 mm high and 78 mm deep) allow for easy mounting even in limited space. It is designed to control motors up to 11 kW at 400V and 5.5 kW at 230V. The use of a thermal-magnetic release guarantees effective protection against overloads and short circuits, and the sensitivity to phase failure further increases work safety.

Key features and benefits

• Versatile protection: Protection against overload, short circuit and phase failure in one device – minimizes the need for additional protective elements.
• Easy operation: Push-button operation allows for quick and intuitive switching of the motor on and off.
• High breaking capacity: Rated breaking capacity Icu of 40 kA at 400V ensures effective protection in the event of a short circuit.
• Adjustable current range: The setting range of the overload release (20-25A) allows you to adapt the switch to specific application needs.
• Solid construction: Complete device in a housing with screw terminals ensures a durable and reliable connection of wires.
• Versatility: Suitable for AC-3e category – ideal for modern, high-efficiency IE3/IE4 motors.
• Simple installation: Compact dimensions and screw terminals facilitate installation in various conditions.

The GZ1E22 switch is an optimal solution for a wide range of applications, such as the packaging industry, air conditioning, ventilation, heating systems, generators or pumps. Its reliability and ease of use make it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for an effective and safe solution to protect their motors.
