GV3ME40 - Telemecanique Motor Circuit Breaker

GV3ME40 - Telemecanique Motor Circuit Breaker

The GV3ME40 manual motor starter is a practical choice for protecting three-phase motors while giving you direct manual control over motor operation. With an adjustable current range of 25 to 40 Amps, it lets you set protection to match the motor's full-load current, helping reduce the risk of nuisance tripping while still guarding against overloads and short circuits. If you're replacing an existing unit, the GV3ME40 is intended as a form, fit, and functional replacement for compatible applications. Before installation, it's always a good idea to confirm that the amperage range, interrupting rating, and mounting configuration match the equipment you're servicing.
