Schneider Electric GV6P500F TeSys GV6 3P 500 A 36 kA Thermal-Magnetic Motor Protection Circuit Breaker (MPCB)

The Schneider Electric GV6P500F is a 3-pole TeSys GV6 motor circuit breaker rated 500 A, sized to protect 200-250 kW motors at 400/415 V. It pairs an adjustable thermal-magnetic protection curve (Ir 250-500 A, class 5/10/20) with a 36 kA breaking capacity (Icu) at 400/415 V, plus phase-loss, phase-unbalance and short-time-delay protection, operated by a direct rotary handle.

Selection Notes

Choose the GV6P500F where upstream prospective short-circuit current stays at or below 36 kA at 400/415 V; for higher fault levels, the 70 kA GV6P500H variant shares the same 500 A frame and footprint without changing the thermal range. The 250-500 A thermal dial covers the full current band of 200-250 kW motors at 400/415 V, and the three tripping classes (5/10/20) let the setting match motor starting duration, from normal duty to heavy-inertia loads. Internal mounting positions accept GV7-series auxiliary contact blocks (OF, SD) and voltage-trip releases (MN, MX) without a separate enclosure.
