Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the correct GV2-ME variant based on your motor’s Full Load Amperage (FLA):
| Model | Current Range | Typical Motor Power (400 V, 3Φ) |
|---|---|---|
| GV2-ME06C | 1–1.6 A | 0.37 kW |
| GV2-ME10C | 4–6.3 A | 1.5 kW |
| GV2-ME14C | 6–10 A | 2.2 kW |
| GV2-ME16C | 9–14 A | 4 kW |
| GV2-ME21C | 17–23 A | 7.5 kW |
| GV2-ME22C | 20–25 A | 7.5–11 kW |
| GV2-ME32C | 24–32 A | 11–15 kW |
Selection tip: Set the current dial to 1.0–1.05× motor FLA. For star-delta starters, select based on the line current (FLA × 0.58).

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace GV2-ME22C with GV2-P22?
A: Yes. The GV2-P22 is the screw-clamp terminal version of the same device. Electrical ratings are identical; only the terminal type differs. Verify your wiring method before ordering.
Q: Is the GV2-ME22C compatible with TeSys D contactors?
A: Yes. It is designed to mount directly alongside LC1-D25 and LC1-D32 contactors using the GV2-MC01 mechanical interlock accessory.
Q: Can I use a Siemens 3RV2021-4DA10 as a drop-in replacement?
A: Electrically equivalent in current range and breaking capacity, but the physical footprint and accessory mounting differ. Panel cutout and wiring modifications may be required.
Q: What is the difference between GV2-ME21C and GV2-ME22C?
A: The GV2-ME21C covers 17–23 A; the GV2-ME22C covers 20–25 A. For motors with FLA between 20–23 A, either may apply — select based on the motor nameplate FLA and apply a 1.05× safety factor.
Q: Does Konmask.com offer technical support for selection?
A: Yes. Contact our engineering team with your motor nameplate data (kW, voltage, FLA, service factor) and we will recommend the correct model and accessories.
