Schneider GV3P80 is a TeSys GV3/TeSys Deca motor circuit breaker designed for three-phase motor protection in industrial control panels. This thermal-magnetic breaker provides adjustable overload protection from 70 to 80 A, with magnetic short-circuit tripping at 1120 A. It is rated for AC networks up to 690 V at 50/60 Hz and is suitable for motor applications up to 45 kW at 400/415 V or 500 V, and up to 55 kW at 690 V.
Built with a rotary handle and EverLink terminals, the GV3P80 supports secure wiring and straightforward panel integration. It can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail or fixed directly to a panel using M4 screws. The compact frame measures approximately 55 mm wide, 132 mm high and 136 mm deep, making it suitable for dense control cabinet layouts.
The unit offers high breaking capacity, including 65 kA at 230/240 V and 50 kA at 400/415 V, with suitability for isolation in accordance with IEC 60947-1. It also includes phase failure sensitivity, continuous duty operation and IP20 protection, making it a dependable choice for machinery, motor control centres, pumps, compressors, conveyors and other industrial motor protection applications.
