Circuit breaker Schneider Electric GV2ME05, IP20, 3-pole, 45×78.2×89 mm

Schneider Electric GV2ME05 is a 3-pole motor circuit breaker with IP20 protection designed to protect motors and electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. The device has a compact white housing with dimensions 45 × 78.2 × 89 mm, making it suitable for installation in industrial and commercial control panels where IP20 protection is acceptable. The GV2ME05 provides reliable switching and thermal-magnetic protection in a small form factor.

Advantages

The GV2ME05 combines compact dimensions with thermal-magnetic protection for motors and circuits, delivering consistent performance in limited panel space. Its IP20 rating ensures protection against accidental contact with live parts in indoor installations. The unit's three-pole design allows simultaneous disconnection of all phases, reducing the risk of motor phase imbalance and simplifying wiring in three-phase systems.

Suitable for

• Protection of three-phase motors in machinery and conveyors
• Overload and short-circuit protection in industrial control panels
• Commercial electrical installations with IP20 enclosure requirements
• Replacement or retrofit in existing motor control circuits

Key specifications

• Poles: 3-pole thermal-magnetic motor circuit breaker
• Protection degree: IP20 (protection against access to hazardous parts, indoor use)
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 45 × 78.2 × 89 mm
• Housing color: white
• Function: overload and short-circuit protection with manual switching capability

How to use

Install the GV2ME05 on a suitable mounting rail or panel according to local electrical codes and Schneider Electric installation instructions. Ensure correct wiring of all three phases and that line and load connections are tight and secure. Set any adjustable trip settings as required for the protected motor or circuit, and verify correct operation by performing recommended functional checks before placing the equipment into normal service.

Recommendations

Use the GV2ME05 in indoor panels with IP20 protection only and verify coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices. Select trip settings and accessory components according to motor nameplate data and installation standards to ensure reliable protection and avoid nuisance tripping.
