The Schneider Electric TeSys Deca GV3 range represents the pinnacle of motor control and protection technology, specifically engineered for high-performance industrial environments. These manual starter controllers provide a sophisticated, compact solution for the management of motors, ensuring maximum reliability and system uptime.
By integrating short-circuit protection, overload protection, and manual switching into a single, streamlined device, the GV3 series eliminates the need for additional fuses, thereby reducing the physical footprint within electrical enclosures.
The TeSys Deca GV3 (formerly TeSys GV3) is distinguished by its high breaking capacity and innovative connection technology.
- Current Range: Expertly designed to manage motors from 5.5 kW to 30 kW (up to 65 A), bridging the gap between standard miniature circuit breakers and heavy-duty industrial protectors.
- EverLink™ Terminals: A patented Schneider Electric innovation. These power terminals ensure a permanent tightening pressure, even in the event of conductor creep. This significantly reduces the risk of overheating and fire, while simplifying the maintenance schedule.
- High Breaking Capacity: Offers a robust $I_{cu}$ rating of up to 100 kA, ensuring the safety of your downstream equipment during significant fault currents.
- Rotary Handle Operation: Features an ergonomic, lockable rotary handle that provides clear indication of the breaker status (ON, OFF, or TRIP), facilitating easy manual isolation during maintenance.
The GV3 range is built to withstand the rigours of modern manufacturing. It provides comprehensive thermal-magnetic protection:
- Thermal Protection: Safeguards the motor against prolonged overcurrent conditions that could lead to winding failure.
- Magnetic Protection: Instantaneous tripping in the event of a short circuit to prevent catastrophic damage to the electrical infrastructure.
- Phase Failure Sensitivity: Built-in mechanisms to detect phase loss, preventing "single-phasing" which can rapidly burn out a three-phase motor.
Why Choose TeSys Deca GV3?
Choosing the GV3 series means opting for long-term operational efficiency. Its compact 55mm width saves valuable DIN rail space, while the EverLink™ technology ensures that your electrical connections remain secure without the need for frequent manual re-torqueing. Compliant with international standards such as IEC/EN 60947-2 and 60947-4-1, the GV3 is a globally recognised benchmark for quality and safety in motor control.
