FAQ

What is the difference between the GV2L and GV2P series?

The main difference lies in the operator type. The GV2L series, like this model, uses a rotary handle. The GV2P series features a push-button operator, which often has a higher breaking capacity and is preferred for certain safety and panel designs.

Can I add auxiliary contacts to this GV2L16 circuit breaker?

Yes, the TeSys GV2 range is modular. You can easily add front-mounted (GVAE) or side-mounted (GVAN) auxiliary contact blocks to provide status feedback (ON/OFF/tripped) to your control system.

How do I correctly set the thermal overload protection on this device?

The thermal protection dial should be set to the motor’s full-load ampere (FLA) rating, which is found on the motor’s nameplate. Use a small, flat-head screwdriver to adjust the dial to the correct value within the 10-14A range for optimal protection.
