The Schneider Electric GVAU226 is an undervoltage release (MN) designed for use with the TeSys GV2 and GV3 series motor circuit breakers. This accessory provides essential protection by automatically tripping the circuit breaker when the supply voltage drops below a predetermined level, preventing potential damage to connected equipment and ensuring operational safety in industrial control panels. Its specific voltage rating makes it suitable for systems operating within the 220-240V AC range at 60 Hz.

Technical details

• Series: TeSys GV2-GV3
• Accessory Type: Undervoltage Release (MN)
• Operating Voltage: 220-240V AC
• Frequency: 60 Hz
• Functionality: Provides overcurrent protection by tripping the associated motor circuit breaker upon voltage loss or significant undervoltage condition.
• Compatibility: Designed for integration with Schneider Electric TeSys GV2 and GV3 series motor circuit breakers.
• Mounting: Typically mounts directly onto the front of compatible GV2 or GV3 devices.
• Control Circuit: Operates as a shunt trip mechanism, requiring a continuous power supply to remain de-energized.

Applications & compatibility

This undervoltage release is critical for applications requiring reliable motor protection in environments with potentially unstable power grids. It is commonly integrated into control systems for pumps, fans, conveyors, and other essential machinery found in manufacturing plants, water treatment facilities, and building automation systems where consistent voltage is paramount for safe operation.
