Industrial motor starter for small loads

The Schneider Electric GV2ME06 is a manual motor starter rated for three-phase circuits up to 690 V AC. It provides thermal overload protection with an adjustable current range of 1 A to 1.6 A and is suited to motors up to 1 hp at 600 V or 3/4 hp at 480 V. The push-button operator gives direct local control without a separate enclosure.

Thermal protection and power consumption

Thermal overload trips protect the motor from sustained overcurrent while the starter itself draws minimal control power. No fan or active cooling is required so operation is silent. The three-pole design switches all phases simultaneously and the device mounts directly on a DIN rail or panel without additional ventilation space.

Replaces basic contactor and overload combinations

This starter combines switching and protection in one compact unit eliminating separate contactor and thermal relay assemblies. The upgrade is worthwhile when panel space is limited or when a single adjustable setting from 1 A to 1.6 A simplifies spares. It does not suit applications needing magnetic trip only or higher current ratings beyond 1.6 A.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the three-pole push-button starter for a 3-phase 480V AC motor?

Connect each of the three poles to the corresponding line conductors, set the thermal overload dial between 1 A and 1.6 A, then use the push-button operator to start and stop the motor.

What part will need replacement after repeated overload trips?

The thermal overload element inside the starter is designed to trip at 1.6 A; after many trips it can lose calibration and should be replaced.

At what current does the thermal protection trip during continuous operation?

The overload relay trips when current exceeds the 1.6 A maximum setting, which is the first limit reached under sustained load.
