TeSys GV6GV6 motor circuit breaker, 3P 320 A, Icu 36 kA at 400 V
The Schneider Electric GV6P320F is a 3P TeSys GV6 motor circuit breaker rated 320 A, with a breaking capacity of 36 kA at 400/415 V for protecting three-phase motors from 132-160 kW at 400 V. It combines electronic thermal-magnetic protection with fixed short-time delay and phase-unbalance protection. The breaker is operated by a direct rotary handle and terminates on screw connectors.
The F suffix marks the 36 kA Icu breaking-capacity class at 400/415 V; the alternative suffix in the GV6 line steps up to a higher withstand rating for installations with greater prospective short-circuit current, avoiding an upstream current-limiting device. At 35 kA at 440 V rated conditional short-circuit current with an associated fuse, this 320 A frame protects motors in the 132-160 kW band at 400 V.
