⚡ TeSys GV Motor Circuit Breakers

TeSys GV motor circuit breakers (GV2, GV3, GV4) are Schneider Electric’s all‑in‑one motor protection devices, combining short‑circuit protection, motor overload protection, and manual disconnection in a single compact unit.

Your ATS130 document shows GV3P and GV4PB breakers used as the primary protection for ATS130 soft starters:

“ TeSys Deca frame 3 and frame 4 thermal magnetic circuit breakers… provide short‑circuit and motor overload protections. ”

This is the core purpose of TeSys GV breakers.

🔧 Key Points (Short & Clear)

• Thermal‑magnetic protection — protects motors against overloads & short circuits.
• Manual disconnection — acts as a local isolator for maintenance.
• Trip indication — clear status for overload or short‑circuit events.
• Compact & modular — integrates with TeSys contactors and overload relays.
• EverLink terminals(GV3/GV4) — vibration‑proof, maintenance‑free tightening.
• Global certifications — IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC.
