How can I use a motor protection circuit breaker type GV2, GV3, GV4, GV5, GV6 or GV7 with a single-phase load?

The GV range of motor protection circuit breakers (MPCB) can be used on a single-phase network by connecting 2 of the poles in series. In this way, all 3 motor protection circuit breaker poles are used.

If you don't populate all 3 poles, then the device will trip based on a phase loss fault. You can avoid this by populating all 3 poles.

NOTE The GV7 range is now obsolete, replaced by GV5 and GV6. Please visit our website www.se.com for further information.
