Motor starter GZ1E push-button drive I=0.25-0.4A screw terminals GZ1E03

Motor starter GZ1E is a component of the EasyPact TVS series from Schneider Electric, designed to protect motors from overloads and short circuits. The device allows manual switching of the motor on and off using buttons, making it an ideal solution for both installers and end users.

Characteristics and application

The GZ1E motor starter with push-button drive is intended for protecting motor circuits in industrial and commercial applications. Thanks to its compact design and ease of installation, it works perfectly in installations requiring reliable motor protection. The use of a thermal-magnetic tripping characteristic ensures effective protection against the effects of overloads and short circuits. The AC-3 utilization category confirms its suitability for applications with high-efficiency motors (IE3/IE4).

Construction and product features

The starter is made in a complete housing, which facilitates its installation and provides additional protection against external factors. It has three poles and is designed to operate in networks with a voltage of 690 V AC. The connection of the main contacts is made using screw connections, which guarantees a secure and durable connection of the wires. Additionally, the starter has a built-in thermal protection, which protects the motor from overheating. Phase failure sensitivity increases the safety of the installation.

• Thermal-magnetic protection integrates overload and short-circuit protection into one device.

• Push-button drive enables simple and intuitive operation – switching on and off is done manually.

• Screw terminals provide a solid connection of wires with a cross-section from 1 to 6 mm².

• High short-circuit capacity (up to 100 kA at 400 V AC) guarantees safety even in the event of serious disturbances in the network.

• Protection degree IP20 provides basic protection against accidental contact.

• Power loss at 2.5 W minimizes the impact on the energy efficiency of the installation.

• Possibility of mounting on a rail allows for quick and easy integration with the existing electrical infrastructure.

The device meets the standards IEC 60947-2 and IEC 60947-4-1, which confirms its compliance with applicable safety and quality standards. The GZ1E starter is a solid and reliable solution for anyone who needs effective motor protection in their electrical installation.
