Întrerupător motor Schneider GV3P50

The Schneider GV3P50 motor circuit breaker is an ideal choice for protecting 22kW three-phase motors. Featuring thermal-magnetic tripping, an adjustable current range of 37–50A, a breaking capacity of 100kA and IP20 ingress protection rating, it is widely deployed in industrial automation, fluid conveyance, building facilities and other sectors. Key points: match breaker rating to motor power and operating conditions; avoid non-recommended applications including DC circuits, high-frequency starting and high-altitude environments. Combined with contactors and auxiliary contacts, it forms a complete motor protection and control system.
