  • Product typeIndustrial Electrical Controls & Automation
  • Product colorDark grey
  • Three-phase motor control up to 50 A
  • Selector switch operator for direct manual operation
  • 600 V AC maximum voltage rating
  • Horsepower ratings from 3 hp to 40 hp across voltages

Three-phase motor protection

The Schneider Electric GV3P50 is a manual motor starter rated for three-phase supplies up to 600 V AC. It provides overload and short-circuit protection for industrial motors in automation and control panels.

50 A maximum current setting

The adjustable overload relay tops out at 50 A, matching motors up to 15 hp at 208 V or 240 V, 30 hp at 480 V and 40 hp at 600 V. Select this unit only when the motor full-load current falls within that 50 A limit.

Selector switch operation

A front-mounted selector acts as the local operator, so no separate push-button station is required. The starter mounts on a DIN rail or panel and accepts standard TeSys Deca accessories for remote tripping or signalling.

Questions about this item

What does the 50 A current rating mean when the starter is installed in a motor circuit?

It sets the maximum overload relay trip point at 50 A, protecting the motor from sustained overcurrent while allowing normal start-up surges.

How does the 600 V AC maximum voltage rating limit the systems this starter can be used on?

The starter is rated for circuits up to 600 V AC, so it suits 120 V, 208 V, 240 V, 480 V and 600 V three-phase supplies but not higher voltages.

What mounting or wiring provisions does the three-pole selector switch require?

The unit has three poles for three-phase connections and a selector operator; it mounts in a standard enclosure and accepts conductors sized for 50 A circuits.
