About the Schneider Electric GV3ME20

The Schneider Electric GV3ME20 is a three-pole motor circuit breaker from the TeSys GV3 range, with a thermal protection setting range of 10…16 A; the GV3ME breakers differ by this setting range. Schneider Electric gives it a thermal-magnetic trip unit, push-button control and a breaking capacity of 15 kA Icu at 400...415 V, for motors of 7.5 kW at 400...415 V. Schneider Electric lists it as discontinued without giving a date.

What is the GV3ME20 used for?

The GV3ME20 isolates a three-phase motor circuit and protects the motor against overload, short circuit and phase failure.
