Product Information

Full details

The Schneider Electric TeSys GV2 GV2L10 is a three-phase motor protection circuit breaker designed for 2.2kW@400V motor applications, offering reliable magnetic protection with a 13xIn trip level and a high breaking capacity of 100kA@400V. While it provides robust circuit protection and seamless integration with LRD010 thermal overload relays for comprehensive motor safeguarding, users should note its fixed 6.3A rating, which may require careful consideration for specific motor requirements.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the GV2L10 circuit breaker?

The GV2L10 is specifically designed for motor protection, providing protection against short circuits and internal faults. It works in conjunction with a thermal overload relay (like the LRD010) for complete motor safeguarding.

What is the current rating of the GV2L10?

The GV2L10 has a fixed current rating of 6.3A.

Can this breaker be used for general electrical circuits?

While it offers overcurrent protection, it is optimized and intended for motor applications. For general circuit protection, other types of circuit breakers are typically recommended.

What is the breaking capacity of the GV2L10?

It has a high breaking capacity of 100kA at 400V.

How do I reset the breaker after it trips?

Ensure the fault condition is cleared, then turn the rotary control to the 'off' position completely before attempting to reset it.

What does 'Green Premium' compliance mean?

Green Premium compliance signifies that the product meets certain environmental standards, including RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and is REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) compliant.

What is the difference between magnetic and thermal protection?

Magnetic protection (like in the GV2L10) provides rapid tripping for high-current events such as short circuits. Thermal protection (provided by an add-on relay like LRD010) offers slower-acting protection against sustained, lower-level overloads that can gradually damage a motor.

Troubleshooting

Breaker trips immediately upon motor startup

Verify the motor's rated current and compare it to the breaker's 6.3A rating. Check for potential short circuits in the motor wiring or the motor itself. Ensure the LRD010 thermal overload relay (if used) is not set too low.

Breaker does not reset after tripping

Ensure the fault condition that caused the trip has been cleared. Check that the rotary control is fully in the 'off' position before attempting to reset. Inspect the breaker for physical damage.

Motor overheats but breaker does not trip

This indicates a potential issue with the thermal overload protection. Ensure the LRD010 thermal overload relay is correctly installed, calibrated, and set appropriately for the motor's current rating. The GV2L10's magnetic protection is for short circuits, not gradual overloads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides robust protection against motor overloads and short circuits.
  • High breaking capacity ensures safety in fault conditions.
  • Reliable magnetic trip mechanism for quick fault response.
  • Easy integration with complementary Schneider Electric components.
  • Durable construction with a long operational life for the rotary control.

Cons

  • Fixed 6.3A current rating may not suit all motor sizes.
  • Primarily designed for motor protection, not general circuit protection.
  • Requires separate LRD010 relay for full thermal overload protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The GV2L10 is designed for panel mounting. Ensure the main power supply is de-energized before installation. Connect the motor supply wires to the screw terminals, observing correct phasing for three-phase connections. Mount the device securely within a suitable enclosure or on a standard DIN rail if applicable.

Compatibility: This circuit breaker is compatible with Schneider Electric's LRD010 thermal overload relay for full motor protection. It is also designed to integrate seamlessly into the TeSys GV2 system, allowing for modular expansion and control.

Care: The device requires minimal user maintenance. Keep the terminals clean and free from dust. Periodically inspect for any signs of damage or overheating. Ensure the rotary control operates smoothly. Cleaning should be done with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the device is de-energized before any cleaning or inspection.
