Schneider Electric SQUARE D GV2ME02 Manual Motor Starter 0.25 A 600 V 3-Phase

Industrial Motor Starter 0.25 A 600 V

The Schneider Electric SQUARE D GV2ME02 is a manual motor starter rated for 0.25 A at 600 V AC across three phases. It uses push-button operation and screw-clamp terminals for secure wiring. The unit suits industrial control panels that need basic overload protection without a contactor. Buyers who need an integrated enclosure or higher current ranges should look elsewhere.

Thermal Overload Behaviour 0.16 A to 0.25 A

Thermal overload protection trips based on sustained current rather than a brief surge. The relay adjusts between 0.16 A and 0.25 A so the starter tolerates normal start-up inrush but disconnects on prolonged overload. Operation at 50 Hz or 60 Hz does not change the trip curve. The IP20 rating means the device must sit inside a protective cabinet.

Screw-Clamp Wiring IP20 Open Frame

Screw-clamp terminals accept stripped conductors and lock them with a standard screwdriver. The open-frame body measures 3.09 in overall depth and carries no enclosure, so installers must provide a rated cabinet. Fire-resistant materials meet panel safety requirements. Missing the separate enclosure is the most common installation error.
