The Schneider Electric GV2P22 Motor Circuit Breaker is designed for electrical professionals and industrial applications requiring robust motor protection. Its key benefit is providing reliable thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits, safeguarding critical equipment and minimizing downtime. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, requiring a foundational understanding of electrical systems for optimal integration. This unit offers adjustable thermal settings, a defined magnetic trip point, and a high breaking capacity, ensuring comprehensive protection for three-phase motors up to 11kW.

This breaker is rated for three-phase motor applications up to 11kW at 400V.
The thermal trip setting is adjusted using the rotary knob on the front of the device, typically within a 20-25A range.
While primarily designed for three-phase motors, it can be adapted for specific single-phase applications, but its phase failure sensitivity is optimized for three-phase systems.
This indicates the breaker's ability to safely interrupt a short-circuit current of 50,000 Amperes at 400 Volts AC without being destroyed.
The GV2P22 has an IP20 degree of protection, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but offers no protection against water. It should be installed in a clean, dry location or within a suitable enclosure.
Yes, the rotary knob control allows for locking the breaker in the OFF position using up to three padlocks for safety during maintenance.
The GV2P series is designed for 100,000 cycles of electrical and mechanical durability under rated conditions.
Verify the thermal setting is appropriate for the motor's full load amperage (FLA). Ensure the motor is not experiencing higher-than-normal operating temperatures or mechanical strain.
Confirm the magnetic trip setting is not bypassed. Check wiring integrity. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may be faulty and require replacement.
Ensure the fault condition that caused the trip has been cleared. Inspect for any physical obstruction preventing the reset mechanism from engaging. If the breaker has tripped due to overload, allow the motor to cool before attempting a reset.
Ensure the device is correctly wired for a three-phase system. Verify that all three phases are present and balanced. This is an inherent feature; if it fails, the unit may require service.
Setup: The GV2P22 is designed for direct mounting onto a 35mm DIN rail or panel mounting using a specific bracket. Ensure all power is disconnected before installation. Connect the main power conductors to the screw terminals, ensuring secure connections. The rated operating voltage is 0-690V. Set the overload release current by adjusting the rotary knob to the desired range (20-25A) based on the motor's full load amperage (FLA). The magnetic trip is factory-set but can be confirmed.
Compatibility: This breaker is suitable for three-phase motor applications up to 11kW at 400V. It is compatible with Schneider Electric TeSys components, such as contactors, for enhanced control and protection schemes. It adheres to multiple standards including IEC, UL, and CSA.
Care: Regularly inspect the device for any physical damage. Keep terminals clean and ensure all connections remain tight. The IP20 rating means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but is not protected against water, so install it in a dry, clean environment. No internal maintenance is typically required for the thermal-magnetic trip unit.
