TeSys GV2 magnetic-only manual motor circuit breaker, 14 A, 15 kA Icu at 400/415 V, toggle switch, DIN rail mount.
The Schneider Electric GV2LE16 is a TeSys GV2 manual motor circuit breaker with magnetic-only tripping, rated 14 A with a 15 kA breaking capacity at 400/415 V per IEC 60947-2. Its toggle-switch actuator gives local on/off control and short-circuit disconnection for motors up to 5.5 kW at 400/415 V, and the unit doubles as a load-break isolator per IEC 60947-1.
At 14 A, the GV2LE16 sits at the top of the GV2LE frame and its magnetic trip threshold rises to 253.4 A, matched to motors up to 5.5 kW at 400/415 V. Breaking capacity at 400/415 V drops to 15 kA on this frame, well below the 100 kA rating of the lower-current GV2LE variants, so check upstream fuse or breaker coordination before specifying it as the sole short-circuit protection on a higher-fault-level board. As with the rest of the GV2LE line, it trips on short-circuit current only — add a thermal overload relay for overload protection.
Used as a manual motor disconnect and short-circuit protector ahead of a contactor in TeSys Deca motor-control assemblies, panel-board motor feeders, and machine-building enclosures where a toggle-operated local isolator is required alongside DIN-rail mounted control gear.
