The Schneider Electric GV2P21H7 is a manual motor starter and circuit breaker that applies thermal-magnetic principles for motor protection. The current adjustment capability spans from 17 A to 23 A, ensuring versatility in configuration. The device includes a rotary handle, which can be locked in the OFF position, providing an extra layer of safety.
This model is rated to operate at 23 A with a maximum voltage of 690 VAC. It is capable of supporting motor power ratings, including 9 kW at 400/415 VAC, 11 kW at 500 VAC, and 18.5 kW at 690 VAC, all standardized for AC-3 service at 50 or 60 Hz. Throughout its operation, the GV2P21H7 breaks currents with excellent reliability, offering capabilities of up to 50 kA at 400/415 V and down to 4 kA at higher voltages, achieving a maximum of 100 kA for lower voltage applications of 230/240 V.
The magnetic trip is set to 13 times the rated current, ensuring that the circuit breaker can respond promptly to overload conditions. The device conforms to AC-3 and category A utilization standards as per IEC regulations. This model operates within a temperature range between -20 °C and 60 °C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.
The installation process is flexible, allowing for either clip-on mounting on 35 mm DIN rails or panel mounting using two M4 screws. The unit features screw clamp terminals for reliable electrical connections. With a mechanical and electrical durability rated for 100,000 operations at AC-3, it is designed for longevity in rigorous operational environments. The enclosure boasts an IP20/IPK04 rating, which offers adequate protection against contact with small tools and wires while maintaining a level of resistance against small external impacts.
