TeSys Deca GV3 motor circuit breaker, 3P, 30-40 A, 50 kA Icu at 400 V, EverLink.
The Schneider Electric GV3P40 is a TeSys Deca GV3 motor circuit breaker with a 30-40 A adjustable thermal setting range, rated 40 A and 50 kA Icu at 400/415 V across 3 poles. It combines overload and short-circuit protection with manual isolation, operated by a rotary handle and wired through EverLink self-adjusting terminals.
The GV3P40 covers the 30-40 A band in the GV3 frame — set the thermal dial to the motor's nameplate full-load current rather than the top of the scale, since the EverLink terminals (not a snap-in GV2 body) are what let this frame carry motors up to 65 A. Choose a neighbouring GV3P current band if the motor's full-load current falls outside this range rather than running the breaker at the edge of its adjustment. EverLink terminals self-adjust as the conductor settles under vibration, so re-torquing after commissioning is not required the way it is on a plain screw clamp terminal of this current size.
