TeSys GV3L magnetic motor starter rotary drive 40A screw terminals GV3P40

Magnetic motor starter TeSys GV3L is a reliable device designed to protect electric motors in demanding industrial and commercial environments. Model GV3P40, with a rotary drive and screw terminals, provides effective protection against overload, short circuit and phase failure. It is a key element of electrical installations, guaranteeing safety and continuity of operation.

Characteristics and application

The GV3P40 starter is designed to work with three-phase motors with a power of up to 18.5 kW at 400 V. Its thermomagnetic technology ensures a quick and precise response to irregularities in the circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and downtime. The use of Everlink screw terminals facilitates installation and ensures a secure connection of the wires. The control knob allows convenient switching on and off of the device, and its durability guarantees a long service life – up to 50,000 AC-3 cycles.

Advantages and benefits

• Versatile protection: Protects against overload, short circuit and phase failure – three functions in one device.
• High breaking capacity: Rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icu at 50 kA at 400 V ensures effective protection even in the event of large short-circuit currents.
• Precise adjustment: The setting range of the overload release (30-40 A) allows you to adapt the characteristics of the starter to the specific needs of the application.
• Easy installation: Everlink screw terminals provide quick and secure connection of wires, minimizing installation time.
• Durable construction: Robust materials and solid workmanship guarantee a long service life of the device, even in harsh working conditions.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of many standards (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, Marine, ATEX) and is Green Premium compliant (RoHS/REACh), confirming its safety and environmental friendliness.
• Padlockable: The ability to lock the device with a padlock increases work safety and prevents unauthorized operation.

Technical parameters and construction

The starter is characterized by compact dimensions (55 mm wide, 132 mm high and 136 mm deep) which facilitates its installation in switchboards with limited space. The construction of the device as a complete element in a housing ensures readiness for immediate use after connection to the electrical installation. The degree of protection IP20 protects against finger contact and access of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The rated operating voltage is 690…690 V and the rated continuous current Iu is 40 A. Power losses are only 8 W, which translates to efficient use of electrical energy. The device has three poles, making it ideal for use in three-phase motors.
