GV2ME14 — Schneider Electric TeSys GV2 Motor Protection Circuit Breaker
The Schneider Electric TeSys GV2 motor protection circuit breaker (MPCB) covers 0.1 A to 32 A adjustable trip current for three-phase motor protection up to 690 V, combining the functions of a manual motor starter, thermal overload relay, and short-circuit protection in a single compact DIN-rail device that eliminates the separate fuse, contactor, and overload relay assembly traditionally used for small motor protection in industrial control panels. The GV2ME series achieves IEC 60947-2 short-circuit protection with a 100 kA short-circuit withstand rating when protected by upstream fuses — one of the highest values in its class — and includes magnetic trip adjustment to coordinate protection characteristics with the protected motor's starting current without time delay.
The GV2's manual operating handle doubles as an emergency stop mechanism, providing the operator isolation function required by IEC 60204-1 machinery safety standard without a separate isolation switch. The built-in auxiliary contact outputs signal the trip cause — thermal overload versus short-circuit — to the machine or panel PLC, enabling diagnostic differentiation between motor overload and electrical fault conditions. The GV2's three-position handle (On / Off / Tripped) provides clear visual indication of the device state, and the trip-free mechanism prevents re-closing against a fault regardless of operator handle position.
In Saudi Arabia, the TeSys GV2 is the standard motor protection device for small motor applications from 0.1 kW to 15 kW across the full range of industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications. MODON industrial estate facilities use GV2 for single pump and fan motor protection where panel space is at a premium. OEM machine builders across the Kingdom integrate GV2 as the standard small motor protection device for conveyor motors, mixer motors, and auxiliary machine drives. Water treatment plant instrument air compressors and small chemical dosing pumps are protected by GV2 in NWC facilities across the Kingdom.
Razz Middle East stocks TeSys GV2ME in all standard trip current ranges (0.1–32 A) for immediate delivery, with GV2RT and GV2P variants for higher breaking capacity applications and star-delta motor starting compatibility.

Key Features & Benefits
- Combined MPCB replaces separate fuse + contactor + overload relay assembly in small motor protection circuits, reducing panel component count by three devices per motor circuit and saving significant DIN rail space.
- Adjustable magnetic trip threshold covers motor starting currents from 6 to 12 times Ie, enabling precise coordination with the protected motor's starting current without time delay setting complications.
- Trip cause differentiation between thermal overload and short-circuit in the auxiliary contact output signals the machine PLC with the fault type, enabling appropriate diagnostic response and restart decision logic.
- 100 kA short-circuit withstand rating (with upstream fuses) provides very high fault current protection performance in a compact device, exceeding the fault level available at most Saudi industrial distribution boards.
- Manual operating handle doubles as IEC 60204-1 compliant manual motor operator isolation switch, eliminating the need for a separate isolation switch in machine safety circuits.
- Trip-free mechanism prevents re-closing against a persisting fault regardless of handle position, providing protection against operator-forced reset in fault conditions that could damage equipment or cause injury.
- Compact 45 mm DIN rail mounting allows high-density multi-motor protection in MCC door-mounted feeder sections and machine control cabinet door panels with minimum panel depth requirements.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Small pump and fan motor protection in NWC water treatment plant instrument panels and chemical dosing skids, where the single-device solution reduces panel assembly time and component procurement complexity.
- Conveyor, mixer, and auxiliary drive motor protection in MODON industrial estate OEM machinery, where GV2 replaces three separate components in a single 45 mm DIN rail slot per motor circuit.
- HVAC fan coil unit and small pump motor protection in commercial building services panels across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, where panel space constraints in ceiling-mounted FCU panels favour the compact GV2 format.
- Instrument air compressor and pneumatic system motor protection in petrochemical panel buildings at SABIC and ARAMCO facilities, where the trip cause output integrates with the plant DCS fault management system.
- Machine tool coolant pump and lubrication pump motor protection in Saudi industrial machinery, where the GV2's IEC 60204-1 isolation handle satisfies CE Machinery Directive requirements without an additional isolator.
- Small agitator and mixer motor protection in food processing equipment at MODON Jeddah and Riyadh food industrial zones, where the compact size suits the stainless steel panel enclosures required by hygiene standards.
- Desalination plant dosing pump and small auxiliary motor protection at SWCC coastal desalination facilities, where corrosion-resistant construction and robust trip mechanism handle the humid saline environment.
