Overview
The Telemecanique GV2ME07 is a compact, 3-pole manual motor starter and protector designed for small motors in the 1.6–2.5 amp range. This Schneider Electric device is rated for 690VAC with screw clamp terminal connections. As part of the TeSys GV2 product line, it combines thermal magnetic circuit protection with AC-3 utilization category and a 33.5A magnetic tripping current, making it ideal for controlling and protecting fractional-horsepower to 1-1/2 HP motors.
Key Features
- 3-Pole Thermal Magnetic Protection – Dual-action trip mechanism safeguards against both overload and short-circuit conditions
- 1.6–2.5A Current Range – Precisely calibrated for small motor applications with minimal unnecessary trips
- Manual Reset – Operator-friendly design requiring deliberate manual action to reset after trip events
- Screw Clamp Terminals – Secure, corrosion-resistant wire connections suitable for field installations
- Compact DIN Rail Mount – Space-efficient design allows integration into control panels up to 152mm height

Typical Applications
The GV2ME07 is widely used in small machinery, pump motors, compressor control, machine tools, and HVAC systems where fractional to low-horsepower motors require both thermal overload and short-circuit protection. Its AC-3 rating makes it suitable for squirrel-cage induction motors with frequent starting and stopping. Typical load examples include 1/4 HP to 1-1/2 HP motors operating at 690VAC or lower voltages.
