Schneider Electric TeSys GV2L20 Motor Circuit Breaker 3P 18A 7.5kW

The Schneider Electric TeSys GV2L20 is a high-performance 3-pole magnetic motor circuit breaker engineered to provide reliable protection for electric motors. Designed for industrial applications, this device effectively manages electrical currents up to 18A and supports motor power capacities of 7.5kW. It serves as a critical safety component, ensuring that motor control systems remain protected against short-circuit events while maintaining operational efficiency in demanding electrical environments.

Advantages

This motor circuit breaker stands out due to its robust construction and precise magnetic tripping mechanism, which offers rapid response times during fault conditions. Its compact design allows for efficient use of space within electrical cabinets, while the high-quality materials ensure long-term durability and consistent performance. By integrating this device into your system, you benefit from enhanced safety standards and reduced downtime, as it is specifically built to withstand the rigors of industrial motor control operations.

Suitable for

• Industrial motor control systems
• Protection of electrical circuits against short-circuits
• Applications requiring a 7.5kW power capacity
• Integration into control panels and switchgear

When it may not be suitable

This device is a magnetic-only circuit breaker and does not provide thermal overload protection. It is not suitable for applications where thermal protection is required as a standalone solution, unless paired with an external thermal relay or motor protection device.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Rated current: 18A
• Power capacity: 7.5kW
• Depth: 97 mm
• Height: 89 mm
• Weight: 330 g

How to use

The TeSys GV2L20 should be installed by a qualified professional within a suitable electrical enclosure. It is typically mounted on a DIN rail, allowing for quick and secure integration into existing control systems. Once mounted, the power cables are connected to the input and output terminals according to the wiring diagram. Ensure that all connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent overheating and ensure reliable electrical contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 18A current rating matches your motor requirements
• Ensure that your system design accounts for the lack of thermal protection
• Check available space in your enclosure against the 97mm depth and 89mm height dimensions
• Confirm compatibility with your existing motor control setup

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of wear or loose connections. Ensure that the device is kept free from dust and moisture to maintain optimal performance and safety standards.
