The Schneider Electric TeSys GV2ME22C is a manual motor starter from the GV2 series, designed for the isolating, switching, and short-circuit protection of three-phase motors in a compact, all-in-one device. Unlike the more common "PM" versions, the "ME" designation indicates it is equipped with a Magnetic (M) trip unit only for short-circuit protection, and does not include a thermal overload relay
Parameters:
