Schneider Electric TeSys GV2 Circuit Breaker - GV2L10

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.

The GV2L10 has a fixed current rating of 6.3A.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
