Product FAQs
7 answersWhat are the maximum horsepower ratings for the GV3P13 motor protection circuit breaker?
The GV3P13 supports 3-phase motors up to 3 HP at 208V and 240V, and 7.5 HP at 480V.
What is the advantage of the EverLink BTR screw connectors on the GV3P13?
EverLink BTR terminals ensure a constant tightening pressure on the wire connections. This prevents cables from loosening over time due to thermal cycling or vibration, reducing maintenance and improving safety.
Which auxiliary contacts and trip units are compatible with the GV3P13 manual motor starter?
It accepts front or side-mounted auxiliary contacts such as the GVAE, GVAN, and GVAD series. It is also compatible with GVAU undervoltage releases and GVAS shunt trips.
How does the trip mechanism function on the GV3P13?
It features a Class 10 ambient-compensated bimetal thermal overload relay adjustable from 9 to 13 amps, paired with a fixed magnetic trip set at approximately 14 times the rated current for short-circuit protection.
Can the GV3P13 be used as a UL Type E self-protected combination motor controller?
Yes, it can achieve a UL 60947-4-1 Type E rating when installed with the GV3G66 large spacing terminal cover and a GVAM11 short-circuit signaling contact.
Does the GV3P13 rotary handle support lockout-tagout procedures?
Yes, the front-mounted rotary control knob is padlockable in the OFF position to ensure safe isolation during maintenance.
