Square D TeSys GV2 Manual Starter and Protector, Thermal-Magnetic Rotary Handle, 3-Pole

The Square D TeSys GV2 Manual Starter and Protector, part of the TeSys Deca range, combines manual isolation, manual motor control, and thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection in a compact 3-pole (3P) unit. This family is available across a Motor FLA range of 2.5A, 4A, 6.3A, 10A, and 14A, letting you match the protector to your specific motor full-load amperage. Every unit in the family features a rotary handle suitable for isolation per IEC 60947-1, power circuit screw clamp terminals (2 x 1-6 mm² solid) tightened to 1.7 N.m, and a Ui/Ue rated insulation and operational voltage of 690 V AC at 50/60 Hz, with a 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp), making the series well suited to industrial and commercial motor control circuits.

Key Features

Square D GV2P10 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I pick the right GV2P model for my motor's full-load amps?
The TeSys GV2P is sold in five current settings, and you match the setting to the motor nameplate FLA: GV2P07 for 2.5A, GV2P08 for 4A, GV2P10 for 6.3A, GV2P14 for 10A, and GV2P16 for 14A. Each is a thermal-magnetic unit, so the thermal element handles overload and the magnetic element handles short circuit. Pick the model whose rating covers the motor FLA rather than oversizing, or the overload protection will not trip in time.
2) Can the Square D GV2P be used as the disconnect for a motor circuit, or do I still need a separate isolation switch?
The rotary handle on the GV2P is rated suitable for isolation per IEC 60947-1, so the device provides manual isolation along with motor control and thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection in one 3-pole unit. That is what lets panel builders drop the separate isolating switch ahead of the starter in many IEC-built control panels.
3) Is the TeSys GV2P rated for 480V three-phase motor circuits in the US?
Yes. Rated insulation and operational voltage (Ui/Ue) are 690 V AC at 50/60 Hz with a 6 kV rated impulse withstand, which covers 480V and 600V three-phase work. It is UL Listed to UL 60947-4-1 and CSA Certified to CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, carrying a cULus listing.
4) My motor draws more than 14A at 600V. What should I use instead of the Square D GV2P?
The GV2P family tops out at a 14A motor FLA setting, so a larger load is outside its range. The Leviton MS303-DSW is a 3-pole, 600V AC, 30A industrial grade 3-phase manual motor controller and covers that higher current. Note the difference in what you get: the Leviton unit is a manual motor controller, while the GV2P combines manual control with thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection in the same body, so with a controller-only device the overload protection has to come from a separate component.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Square D GV2P manual motor starter from another brand?
The ABB MS132 is the nearest like-for-like: it is a 3-pole manual motor protector in ABB's MMP A-Range, matching the GV2P's 3-pole configuration and its role as a combined manual starter and thermal-magnetic motor protector. The Eaton XT IEC rotary manual motor protector is the other direct parallel, since like the GV2P it uses a rotary operating handle rather than a pushbutton or toggle. If the panel drawing calls for an IEC-style rotary manual motor protector, either substitutes functionally for the GV2P.
6) Is a manual motor controller the same thing as the Square D GV2P manual starter and protector?
No, and this is the most common mis-substitution. The Leviton MS303-DSW is a 3-phase manual motor controller - it switches the motor but is a controller, not a protector. The GV2P is a manual starter and protector that carries thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection built in, with phase failure sensitivity per IEC 60947-4-1 and a selectable motor FLA setting from 2.5A to 14A. If the specification calls for integrated motor protection, a controller-only device does not satisfy it on its own.
7) Will a GV2P manual motor protector mount on 35 mm DIN rail or does it have to be panel screwed?
Both. The GV2P clips onto 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail, or it screws directly to the panel with 2 x M4 screws, and it can be installed vertical or horizontal. Protection is IP20, so it is meant to live inside an enclosed panel and not be exposed on its own.
8) What wire size do the GV2P terminals take and what torque should they be tightened to?
Power terminals on the GV2P are screw clamp type, accepting 2 x 1-6 mm2 solid conductors per terminal, torqued to 1.7 N.m. That covers roughly 18 AWG through 10 AWG solid. Use a torque screwdriver on commercial work; loose clamp terminals on a 14A motor feed are a common source of nuisance heating.
9) Does the GV2P protect against single phasing on a three-phase motor?
It does. The GV2P is phase failure sensitive per IEC 60947-4-1, so a lost phase is detected and the device trips rather than letting the motor run single-phased and burn a winding. That is on top of the thermal overload and magnetic short-circuit elements.
10) What are the alternatives to the Square D GV2P if I need a manual motor protector for a different application?
Within the same IEC rotary manual motor protector family, the Eaton XT IEC Rotary Manual Motor Protector with Class 10 trip and the ABB MS132 3-Pole MMP A-Range are direct counterparts. If you only need a fractional horsepower manual starter rather than full IEC motor protection, the ABB CR101 Series fractional HP manual motor starter is the simpler device. For a straight three-phase manual motor controller without protective trip, there is the Leviton 3-Pole 600V AC 30A industrial grade manual motor controller, which also goes higher in current than the GV2P's 14A top setting.
11) I only need to start a small fractional horsepower motor. Is there a simpler option than the Square D GV2P?
Yes. The ABB CR101 is a fractional HP manual motor starter, sized specifically for small fractional-horsepower loads, and is the simpler device for that job. The GV2P covers a motor full-load amp range of 2.5A to 14A and adds thermal-magnetic protection plus a rotary handle rated suitable for isolation, which is more device than a single small fan or pump motor typically needs. Choose the GV2P when you need the isolation function and adjustable FLA protection in one unit.
12) For a 480V industrial panel needing a UL listed manual motor protector, how does the Square D GV2P compare with the Eaton XT IEC?
Both are IEC-style rotary manual motor protectors. The GV2P is cULus listed, built to IEC/EN 60947-4-1, and rated Ui/Ue 690V AC at 50/60 Hz with a 6 kV impulse withstand, so a 480V panel sits well inside its voltage rating. The Eaton XT IEC unit is specified with a Class 10 trip characteristic. Where the two differ for a panel builder is the published GV2P termination detail - screw clamp power terminals taking 2 x 1-6 mm2 solid conductors at 1.7 N.m - and its 35 mm DIN rail or 2 x M4 panel-screw mounting.
13) How many operations will a GV2P handle, and how much heat does it put into my panel?
Electrical durability is 100,000 cycles at AC-3 and AC-3e, 415 V In, which is adequate for routine manual start/stop duty but not for frequent cycling of the kind a contactor handles. For panel heat load, figure 2.5 W dissipation per pole, so 7.5 W for the 3-pole unit when sizing enclosure ventilation. Operating altitude is up to 2000 m (6561.68 ft).
14) Does the Square D GV2P carry marine approvals for shipboard panel work?
Yes, the GV2P holds a broad approvals list that includes the marine societies: RINA, BV, DNV-GL, and Lloyds Register of Shipping. It also carries ATEX, CCC, EAC, and UKCA, and is built to EN/IEC 60947-2 and EN/IEC 60947-4-1.
