GV3P13 TeSys Deca Manual Motor Starter/Protector, 3 Pole, 9-13A
The GV3P13 Manual Motor Starter/Protector, identified by Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) GV3P13, is a high-performance component from the Schneider Electric TeSys Deca GV3 series. This thermal-magnetic circuit protector is specifically designed for motor protection in applications such as Motor Control Center (MCC) panels within industrial wash tunnels, providing essential over-current and fault protection.
This 3-pole device offers an adjustable thermal protection range from 9 to 13 Amperes, suitable for motors with a power rating up to 5.5 kW at 400/415V AC, 7.5 kW at 500V AC, and 11 kW at 690V AC. Its rated operational voltage is 690V AC 50/60 Hz. The GV3P13 integrates manual isolation, manual motor control, and thermal overcurrent protection into a single, compact unit, optimizing space and simplifying wiring. When paired with a contactor, it forms a complete motor control assembly.
The GV3P13 boasts excellent breaking capacities (Icu): 100 kA at 230/240V AC and 400/415V AC, 50 kA at 440V AC, 12 kA at 500V AC, and 6 kA at 690V AC, all conforming to IEC 60947-2. Its rated service short-circuit breaking capacity (Ics) is 100% up to 440V AC, ensuring that it can safely clear faults without damage.
Featuring a user-friendly rotary knob control and EverLink BTR screw terminals, the starter ensures sturdy and long-lasting power connections with a tightening torque of 5 N.m. It can be mounted on a 35mm symmetrical DIN rail or directly on a panel using M4 screws, offering flexible installation options. The compact dimensions (55mm W x 132mm H x 136mm D) allow for efficient use of panel space.
The GV3P13 is built for durability, with a mechanical and electrical durability of 50,000 cycles. It has an IP20 degree of protection and an IK09 degree of protection for the enclosure, providing robust resistance against dust and mechanical impact. It operates reliably in ambient air temperatures from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) and can be stored from -40°C to 80°C. The product is compliant with multiple international standards, including EN/IEC 60947-2, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and carries CCC, UL, CSA, EAC, ATEX, LROS, BV, ABS, DNV-GL, and UKCA certifications.
