The Schneider Electric TeSys GV2PM32C is a manual motor starter and protector (MMSP) from the classic and widely-used GV2 series. It is an integrated, compact device designed for direct-on-line (DOL) starting, stopping, and comprehensive protection of three-phase asynchronous motors. The "PM32C" suffix indicates it includes both a thermal overload relay (P) and a magnetic short-circuit trip unit (M), with a C-curve characteristic, sized for a 32A frame.
Parameters:
