Circuit breaker accessory Schneider Electric GV2MC02 — surface-mounted motor circuit-breaker enclosure IP55

Schneider Electric GV2MC02 is a surface-mounted enclosure accessory engineered to house TeSys GV2 series motor circuit-breakers and provide IP55-level protection against dust and water jets. It is intended for installations where motor protection devices need reliable environmental sealing and straightforward surface mounting on walls or panels. The enclosure preserves access to control and connection points while maintaining protection in industrial and commercial environments.

Advantages

The enclosure delivers IP55 ingress protection, helping to prevent dust ingress and withstand water jets during routine cleaning or in exposed locations. Its surface-mounted design simplifies installation on vertical surfaces without requiring a recessed cutout, and it is sized to accommodate GV2 motor circuit-breakers while allowing secure fixing and cable entry. Constructed for compatibility with TeSys GV2 components, the enclosure supports standard control access and safe separation from ambient conditions.

Suitable for

• Surface mounting of TeSys GV2 motor circuit-breakers on walls, enclosures or machinery frames
• Industrial and commercial areas where IP55 protection is required
• Applications that need dust resistance and protection against water jets
• Retrofitting existing installations to add environmental protection for motor protection devices

When it may not be suitable

The surface-mounted enclosure is not intended for use with circuit-breakers or accessories that differ significantly in size or mounting pattern from the TeSys GV2 family. It does not provide higher degrees of protection such as IP65 or IP66, nor is it designed for environments requiring specific chemical resistance or explosion-proof certification. For flush-mounted installations or when a different protection rating is needed, alternative enclosures should be considered.

Key specifications

• Protection rating: IP55 (protection against dust and water jets)
• Mounting type: surface-mounted for vertical surfaces
• Compatibility: designed for TeSys GV2 motor circuit-breakers
• Material: robust enclosure material suitable for industrial environments
• Access: provisions for control access and cable entry while maintaining sealing

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a suitable vertical surface using appropriate fasteners and ensure the mounting location provides secure support and access for wiring. Fit the TeSys GV2 motor circuit-breaker into the enclosure following the breaker manufacturer’s mechanical and electrical connection instructions, then route cables through the designated entries and seal them as required to maintain IP55 integrity. After wiring and assembly, verify sealing, mechanical fixation and proper operation of the breaker before energizing the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm physical compatibility with the specific TeSys GV2 model you intend to use
• Check that IP55 protection level is appropriate for your environmental conditions
• Ensure available mounting space and access for wiring and maintenance
• Consider cable entry types and sealing requirements to maintain protection rating

Usage recommendations

Use the enclosure in environments where protection from dust and water jets is required but higher protection classes are not necessary; follow Schneider Electric and TeSys installation instructions for mounting and wiring to ensure safety and maintain the IP55 rating.
