Schneider GV2ME06C TeSys GV2 series Motor Circuit Breakers

Here is an English introduction to the Schneider GV2ME06C TeSys GV2 series Motor Circuit Breakers:

The Schneider GV2ME06C is a significant component within the TeSys GV2 series of motor-circuit breakers, engineered to offer top-notch protection and control for three-phase motors in diverse industrial settings.

Protection Capabilities

• Overload Protection: The GV2ME06C is furnished with advanced thermal - magnetic protection. It continuously monitors the current flowing through the motor. When the current exceeds the rated overload level for a specific period, it triggers the circuit - breaking action. This shields the motor from overheating and potential damage caused by prolonged overload, thereby safeguarding the motor's lifespan and performance.

• Short - Circuit Protection: It provides robust magnetic protection against short - circuit faults. In the event of a short circuit, where the current surges to a dangerously high level instantaneously, the GV2ME06C rapidly interrupts the circuit. This swift action protects the motor, associated wiring, and other connected electrical components from the severe consequences of high - current short circuits, such as electrical arcing and component burnout.

• Open - Phase and Unbalance Protection: The GV2ME06C is capable of detecting open - phase conditions and three - phase current unbalances. If one of the phases fails or there is an imbalance in the currents among the three phases, the device will promptly take measures to protect the motor. This helps prevent uneven stress on the motor windings, which could otherwise lead to premature motor failure and reduced operational efficiency.

Technical Specifications

• Rated Current: Suitable for a current range of 1 - 1.6A, the GV2ME06C is ideally suited for small - to - medium - power three - phase motors within this current range. This enables precise protection and control that is tailored to the specific power requirements of these motors, ensuring optimal performance and protection.

• Rated Voltage: It operates in AC 50/60Hz circuits with a rated working voltage of 415V, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial power systems. This allows for seamless integration into various electrical setups, providing reliable protection regardless of the power supply characteristics.

• Breaking Capacity: The GV2ME06C possesses a high - breaking capacity, allowing it to safely interrupt the circuit under short - circuit conditions. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the electrical system during fault events, preventing damage to other components and minimizing downtime.
