Schneider Electric GV2ME08 TeSys Deca Motor Circuit Breaker
Overview
The Schneider Electric GV2ME08 is a thermal-magnetic motor circuit breaker from the TeSys Deca GV2 range, providing combined short-circuit and overload protection for three-phase motors in a single compact device. Adjustable across a 2.5–4 A thermal setting range and rated in accordance with UL 508, the GV2ME08 functions as both a manual motor starter and a circuit protector, with integrated push-button operation and EverLink screw-clamp terminals engineered for a sturdy, long-lasting power connection.
With engineering support in Muscat, Seven Star LLC supplies the Schneider Electric GV2ME08 to panel builders, machine OEMs, and industrial maintenance teams throughout the Sultanate of Oman and the wider GCC. Buyers in Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah can source TeSys Deca motor circuit breakers through Seven Star LLC on request for both new panel builds and spare-parts replacement.
Operating Principle of the Schneider Electric GV2ME08
The GV2ME08 combines a thermal bimetallic trip element with an instantaneous magnetic trip mechanism inside a single molded housing. The thermal element continuously monitors current draw and trips on sustained overload conditions consistent with motor thermal characteristics, protecting the winding from damage due to mechanical jamming, single-phasing, or prolonged overcurrent. The magnetic element responds instantly to short-circuit-level fault currents, disconnecting the motor circuit within milliseconds to limit fault energy and protect downstream conductors and equipment.
Because the GV2ME08 integrates starting, isolation, and protection functions in one device, it eliminates the need for a separate fuse, disconnect switch, and overload relay in simple motor circuits. The adjustable thermal dial allows precise matching to actual motor full-load current, while the trip-free mechanism ensures the breaker cannot be held closed against a genuine fault condition, a critical safety characteristic for manually operated motor circuits.
Engineering Design of the Schneider Electric GV2ME08
The Schneider Electric GV2ME08 uses the modernized TeSys Deca body style, featuring a redesigned rotary or push-button operator, multi-standard mounting screws for faster panel installation, and EverLink self-adjusting terminal technology that maintains consistent torque on the power connection over the life of the installation, reducing the risk of loose-connection heating in vibration-prone industrial environments.
The device accepts a wide range of add-on accessories including auxiliary contact blocks, undervoltage releases, shunt trips, and rotary handle mechanisms for door-mounted operation, allowing the same GV2ME08 base unit to be configured for manual local control or remote-actuated applications. Mounting options include DIN rail, base plate, and direct panel mounting, giving panel builders flexibility across different enclosure standards common in regional projects.
Key Features of the Schneider Electric GV2ME08
The Schneider Electric GV2ME08 combines motor protection and manual starting functions in a compact, field-proven TeSys Deca housing.
- Adjustable thermal protection range of 2.5–4 A allows precise matching to actual motor full-load current.
- Combined thermal-magnetic tripping provides both overload and short-circuit protection in one device.
- EverLink screw-clamp terminals maintain a sturdy, long-lasting power connection under vibration.
- Trip-free mechanism prevents the breaker from being held closed against a genuine fault.
- Integrated push-button operation simplifies local manual start and stop control.
- Compatible with a wide range of auxiliary contacts, releases, and rotary handle accessories.
- UL 508 rated construction supports motor control and protection standards used across regional projects.
- Multiple mounting options including DIN rail and base plate suit varied panel-building standards.
Industrial Applications
The Schneider Electric GV2ME08 is widely used to protect small three-phase motors driving pumps, fans, conveyors, and auxiliary machinery across manufacturing plants, water treatment facilities, and building services installations. In Oman’s industrial estates and utility projects across Sohar and Salalah, panel builders specify the GV2ME08 for compact motor control centers where combined starting and protection functions reduce panel footprint and simplify maintenance compared with separate fuse-and-contactor arrangements.
Backed by genuine manufacturer documentation, Seven Star LLC distributes the GV2ME08 to panel builders, MEP contractors, and industrial end users across Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah, supporting projects ranging from single-motor retrofits to full motor control center builds. Regional buyers benefit from genuine TeSys Deca components and technical selection support suited to Oman’s industrial and utility sectors.

Selection Guide & Sizing
Choose the GV2ME08 when the motor full-load current falls within the 2.5–4 A thermal range and the application needs integrated manual start/stop plus trip indication in one 45 mm-wide device. For higher currents use the GV2ME10 (6–10 A) or pair the breaker with a TeSys Deca contactor and LRD overload relay for separate control and protection. Seven Star LLC provides a free sizing worksheet covering cable cross-section, derating for ambient temperature above 40 °C, and coordination with upstream fuses or MCCBs.
Dimensions & Mounting
The GV2ME08 mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail and occupies three modular pitches. EverLink terminals accept 1–10 mm² flexible or rigid conductors without retightening after thermal cycling. Terminal screws are captive and the push-button actuator is padlockable in the OFF position for lockout/tagout compliance during maintenance.
Compliance & Certifications
Genuine GV2ME08 units carry UL 508, CSA, and IEC 60947-4-1 certification with CE marking. Each device ships with a Schneider Electric factory label and QR code for authenticity verification through the Seven Star LLC supply chain.
