FAQ

The GB2CB16 typically has a trip characteristic suitable for motor protection, designed to handle motor inrush currents without nuisance tripping while providing sensitive overload protection.

Yes, the label indicates ratings for DC circuits (24V dc). However, its primary design and breaking capacity ratings are optimized for AC motor circuits. Always consult the full datasheet for specific DC application limitations.

No, the TeSys GB2 and the newer GV2 series have different physical dimensions and accessory mounting systems. You must use accessories specifically designed for the GB2 range.
