Application

The GV2L16 is ideal for motor control applications where short-circuit protection is required, often in conjunction with a separate thermal overload relay. It is commonly used in industrial control panels for pumps, fans, conveyors, and other machinery.

Country of Origin

The main circuit breaker is made in France. The auxiliary contact block is made in the Czech Republic.

CO2 Impact

Opting for this reused component prevents the emission of approximately 13.2 kg of CO2, which is comparable to the savings from not driving a standard car for 66 kilometers.

FAQ

What is the difference between a GV2L and a GV2ME model?

The GV2L series, like this GV2L16, provides magnetic-only (short-circuit) protection for motors. The GV2ME series provides both thermal (overload) and magnetic (short-circuit) protection. The choice depends on whether a separate overload relay is used in the circuit.

No, the GV2L16 has a fixed magnetic trip setting. For this model, the tripping current is instantaneous and set at a high value to protect against short circuits. The 14A rating refers to its rated operational current.

The GVAD0110 is an auxiliary contact block that adds signaling capabilities to the circuit breaker. It provides one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact, which can be used to signal the status (on/off/tripped) of the breaker to a PLC, indicator light, or other control devices.
