Schneider GV2ME21 TeSys Deca Motor Circuit Breaker 3P 17-23A 50kA

The Schneider Electric GV2ME21 is a 3-pole TeSys GV2 motor circuit breaker with thermomagnetic protection, rated for AC motor applications up to 690 V. The adjustable thermal setting covers 17 to 23 A, and breaking capacity reaches 50 kA Icu at 230/240 V AC. Push-button control and compatibility with 35 mm DIN rail or panel mounting make it a flexible solution for motor protection panels.
