GV3ME14

The GV3ME14 thermal-magnetic motor circuit breaker from Schneider Electric is engineered for optimal protection in electrical circuits. This robust device features a three-pole configuration, providing effective circuit interruption for various applications. It supports operating voltages up to 690V AC at both 50 and 60 Hz, making it versatile for different configurations.

User-adjustable current settings range between 6 and 10 A, enabling tailored operation to suit specific demands. The breaker excels in its breaking capacity, rated at 100 kA for 230V AC applications and 15 kA for 400V AC, ensuring reliable performance in fault conditions. Service breaking capacity ratings indicate robust operation, achieving 100% at voltages of 230V, 500V, and 690V AC, while maintaining 50% at 400V AC, which enhances its protective capabilities in various operational scenarios.

Incorporating phase failure protection according to IEC 60947-4-1 standards, the GV3ME14 ensures early detection of failures, significantly reducing equipment risk. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism facilitates reliable short-circuit protection, further safeguarding operations. Connections use screw clamp terminals, accommodating cables up to 35 mm², which ensures secure and efficient wiring practices.

This device can be installed in multiple ways, either directly on plates or via DIN rail systems for versatile options. The GV3ME14's environmental rating is IP20 when open, but increases to IP55 when housed in an enclosure, protecting against dust and water ingress. It operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C in an open-mounted configuration. With a mechanical durability rated for 30,000 operations, this circuit breaker promises longevity and reliability for everyday electrical protection needs.
