  • Product typeIEC
  • Product colorDark grey
  • Protects motors up to 600V AC with three-pole switching
  • Adjustable 2.5–4A thermal overload prevents nuisance trips
  • Rated 3.700 IEC for reliable industrial performance
  • Compact selector-switch operator simplifies panel installation
  • Handles 3 hp at 600V three-phase for versatile use

Manual Motor Starter 2.5 to 4A

The Schneider Electric GV2P08 is a manual motor starter designed for three-phase motor protection up to 4A. It suits industrial maintenance teams and panel builders needing IEC-compliant overload and short-circuit protection in a single compact unit. The TeSys Deca series device mounts directly on a DIN rail inside control cabinets. It replaces separate fuse and contactor assemblies for simpler wiring.

Dark grey IEC housing with knob operator

The dark grey enclosure meets IEC construction standards for industrial environments. A rotary knob on the front provides clear manual on/off and trip-reset operation without opening the cabinet door. Three-pole terminals accept incoming and motor leads for 600V AC maximum circuits. The fixed 2.5 to 4A thermal dial sets the overload threshold without interchangeable heaters.

Verify motor current and voltage before ordering

Confirm the motor full-load current falls within the 2.5 to 4A adjustment range. Check that the supply voltage does not exceed 600V AC and matches the applicable horsepower ratings at 208V, 240V, 480V or 600V three-phase. Ensure the panel has DIN rail space and that the starter’s fixed current range covers the application without needing a different frame size.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum voltage rating for the Schneider Electric GV2P08 manual motor starter?

The GV2P08 has a maximum voltage rating of 600V AC, which caps the voltage you can apply across its three poles in motor-control circuits.

What are the current and horsepower ratings that define the physical sizing of this starter?

It covers 2.5 to 4A with three-phase ratings of 3/4 hp at 208V, 1 hp at 240V, 2 hp at 480V and 3 hp at 600V, plus single-phase ratings of 1/8 hp at 120V and 1/3 hp at 240V.

How do you install the GV2P08 and which wiring step is most often missed?

Mount the unit in a suitable enclosure, connect three-phase supply to the line terminals and motor leads to the load terminals, then set the knob to the motor's full-load current; the step most often missed is adjusting that overload dial to match the actual motor current.
