Schneider GV3L40 | Motor circuit breaker, TeSys GV3, 3P, 40 A, magnetic, rotary handle, EverLink terminals

Technical Specifications:

  • Part Number: GV3L40

  • Series: TeSys GV3

  • Device Type: Motor Circuit Breaker

  • Number of Poles: 3P (Three-pole)

  • Rated Current: 40 A

  • Protection Type: Magnetic only (Short-circuit protection)

  • Operating Mechanism: Front rotary handle

  • Terminal Type: EverLink terminals (anti-loosening, spring-based technology)

  • Mounting: DIN rail or panel-mounted

Key Features:

  1. Efficient Motor Protection

    • Designed to protect motors against short-circuits using fast magnetic trip technology.

  2. Reliable & Durable Design

    • Part of Schneider’s TeSys GV3 series, known for its robustness in industrial environments.

  3. Rotary Handle Operation

    • Allows for manual ON/OFF control with a clear visual indication of the breaker status.

    • Compatible with padlock accessories for enhanced safety.

  4. EverLink Terminal Technology

    • Patented terminals that maintain high-quality connections over time—even under wire creep due to temperature changes—ensuring consistent performance.

  5. Flexible Installation

    • Can be mounted easily on DIN rails or directly on panels, suitable for a wide range of control cabinets.

Typical Applications:

  • Motor protection up to 40 A

  • Industrial control panels and motor starter circuits

  • Applications requiring manual and reliable switching

  • Electrical distribution systems in factories or commercial setups

  • Systems needing compact short-circuit protection without thermal trip
