Couldn't load pickup availability
The Schneider Electric GV2L20 is a TeSys GV2 magnetic-only motor circuit breaker with a setting range of 18 A. It provides magnetic short-circuit protection and isolation and is typically combined with a TeSys contactor and thermal overload relay.
Key features
- Magnetic trip for fast short-circuit protection
- Ideal for motor-starter combinations with separate overload relays
- Clear ON/OFF/TRIP indication and lockable handle for safe maintenance
- Direct mounting with TeSys contactors to build compact starters
- Accepts auxiliary contacts, fault signalling contacts and undervoltage releases
- DIN-rail or panel mounting

- Direct-on-line motor starters
Selection guide
Select the range so that the motor full-load current (from the nameplate) falls inside the setting range, then set the dial exactly to the nameplate current. For example, a 7.5 kW 400 V motor draws about 15 A, so a 13–18 A range is appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
What motor size suits the GV2L20?
With a 18 A setting range it suits three-phase motors whose full-load current lies within that range.
Do I need an overload relay with this breaker?
No for thermal-magnetic GV2ME/GV2P/GV3P/GZ1E types, which include overload protection. Yes for magnetic-only GV2L types, which must be combined with a thermal overload relay.
