TeSys GV3L magnetic motor starter rotary drive 40A screw terminals GV3L40

Motor starter – reliable protection for your motors

This three-pole TeSys GV3L motor starter is a robust solution for protecting three-phase motors. Designed to operate at 690 V and 40 A, it allows for effective protection of motor supply circuits with a power of up to 18.5 kW at 400 V. The construction based on a magnetic trip unit guarantees a quick response in the event of overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage to connected devices.

Functionality and application

The GV3L40 starter is distinguished by its versatility and ease of installation thanks to screw connections. It enables convenient start and stop control using a rotary knob, which withstands up to 50,000 AC-3 operating cycles – this guarantees long-term reliability even in demanding industrial conditions. It is worth remembering that for complete motor protection, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with an LRD340 overload relay (available separately).

Key features and benefits

• High breaking capacity: Rated short-circuit breaking capacity at 50 kA at 400 V ensures effective protection of the installation in the event of a short circuit.
• Phase failure sensitivity: Built-in phase failure detection function protects the motor against damage caused by voltage asymmetry.
• Compact dimensions: Width 55 mm, height 132 mm and depth 136 mm allow for easy integration with existing installations.
• Durable construction: Made of high-quality materials, ensuring reliable operation for a long time.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of many standards (IEC, CCC, EAC, Marine), which confirms its safety and quality.
• Ecological approach: Green Premium product (RoHS/REACh) – demonstrates care for the natural environment during production.
• Magnetic protection: Fast response in case of overloads and short circuits thanks to the use of a magnetic trip unit. The tripping level set at 14xIn provides optimal protection without unnecessary tripping.
• Low power consumption: Energy consumption of only 8 W translates into savings in long-term operation.
• Protection degree IP20: Provides basic protection against touching with fingers and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.

Thanks to these features, the TeSys GV3L starter is an ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable and effective solution for protecting electric motors.
