FAQs

What is the adjustable current range for thermal protection?

The thermal protection is adjustable within a range of 24A to 32A.

What is the magnetic trip setting?

The magnetic trip setting is fixed at approximately 13 times the nominal current (13xIn).

Can this breaker be used for single-phase motors?

While designed for three-phase applications, its protection characteristics might be adaptable for specific single-phase setups, but always consult the detailed datasheet and local regulations.

What is the breaking capacity of the GV2P32?

It has a breaking capacity of 50kA at 400V.

How do I reset the breaker after a trip?

After the fault condition is cleared, the rotary handle can be used to reset the breaker. Move it to the 'OFF' position and then to the 'ON' position.

Does the GV2P32 offer overload and short-circuit protection simultaneously?

Yes, the thermal element provides overload protection, and the magnetic element provides short-circuit protection, integrated into a single unit.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating temperature range for the GV2P32 is from -20°C to +60°C.

Troubleshooting

Breaker trips frequently under normal operation

Check if the thermal setting is too low for the motor's actual load or if there's an underlying motor issue (e.g., bearing wear). Verify connections are tight.

Breaker does not trip during a known fault condition

Ensure the breaker is correctly wired and the fault current is sufficient to activate the magnetic trip mechanism. Verify the breaker's rating is appropriate for the system.

Rotary handle is stiff or difficult to operate

Inspect for any obstructions around the handle mechanism. Ensure the breaker is properly mounted and not under mechanical stress. Clean and lubricate sparingly if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.

Terminals appear loose or corroded

De-energize the system. Carefully tighten screw terminals. If corrosion is severe, clean terminals with an appropriate contact cleaner or replace the breaker if damage is significant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides reliable protection against motor overloads and short circuits.
  • Offers flexibility with adjustable thermal and magnetic trip settings.
  • High breaking capacity ensures safety during severe fault conditions.
  • Extensive multi-standard certifications simplify global integration.
  • Durable construction with a long-lasting rotary handle.

Cons

  • Operating temperature range is limited to -20°C to +60°C.
  • Specific motor power rating needs to be matched carefully (e.g., 0.55 kW at 690V is mentioned, which may differ from the primary 15kW@400V rating.
  • Does not include remote control functionality on its own; requires a contactor for this feature.
  • Installation requires basic electrical knowledge and adherence to safety standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power supply is DE-ENERGIZED before installation.
  2. Mount the GV2P32 circuit breaker onto a standard 35mm DIN rail or panel using its clip-fixing mechanism.
  3. Connect the motor and power supply lines to the appropriate screw terminals, ensuring correct phasing for three-phase applications.
  4. Adjust the thermal trip setting (24-32A) according to the motor's full load current (FLC) rating, typically set between 1.0 and 1.25 times the FLC.
  5. Verify the magnetic trip setting (13xIn) is appropriate for the application's short-circuit protection needs.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for three-phase motor applications up to 15kW at 400V.
  • Compatible with contactors for remote or automatic control.
  • Complies with major international standards (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, ATEX).

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the breaker for visible signs of damage or wear.
  • Keep terminals clean and tight to ensure good electrical contact.
  • Periodically clean the exterior of the unit with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents.
  • Ensure ventilation around the unit is unobstructed.
