Motor Starter for Three-Phase Loads

The Schneider Electric GV3P40 is a manual motor starter rated at 40 A and 600 V AC for three-phase circuits. It belongs to the TeSys Deca series and uses a selector-switch operator for direct on-off control. Suitable for industrial panels that need a compact IEC-type starter without a separate contactor.

Current Setting Is the Deciding Factor

The maximum overload relay current setting is fixed at 40 A, so the starter only protects motors whose full-load current falls at or below this value. At 208 V AC it handles up to 10 hp, at 240 V AC up to 10 hp, at 480 V AC up to 25 hp and at 600 V AC up to 30 hp. Single-phase ratings are 3 hp at 120 V AC and 5 hp at 240 V AC.

No Extra Accessories Included

The unit ships as the starter body only; no auxiliary contacts, enclosures or busbar links are bundled. Installers must source any required mounting hardware, wiring accessories or optional add-on blocks separately. This keeps the package focused on the core protection function for buyers who already have the supporting components.

Questions about this item

What does the 40 A current rating mean for a motor in a real installation?

The starter protects motors drawing up to 40 A, covering single-phase loads up to 5 hp at 240 V and three-phase loads up to 30 hp at 600 V.

How does the 600 V AC maximum voltage rating limit practical use?

It caps the starter at 600 V AC systems; the same unit handles 480 V three-phase motors up to 25 hp and 240 V three-phase motors up to 10 hp.

What mounting space does the TeSys Deca GV3P40 need inside a panel?

The dark grey IEC unit fits standard DIN-rail cut-outs for three-pole manual starters; allow clearance for the selector-switch operator and wiring terminals.
