Motor Starter Enclosure IEC NEMA 1
This Schneider Electric GV2MC01 enclosure houses compatible Series GV2ME and TeSys GV2 motor starters. It is built for industrial electrical control and automation panels where an IEC-style starter is specified. The unit meets Green Premium RoHS and REACH standards along with IEC 60947-2 and IEC 60947-4-1. Buyers who need a higher NEMA rating or a different mounting style cannot use this enclosure.
Transparent Plastic Housing Surface Mount
The transparent plastic body lets operators inspect the starter without opening the cover. Surface mounting suits panel layouts where front access is preferred and DIN rail space is limited. Overall dimensions are 5.79 in height, 3.66 in width and 3.31 in depth, so the footprint fits standard control cabinet grids. Builders who require a metal enclosure or a flush-mount option must select a different model.
Passive Cooling No Fan Power Draw
No fan or active cooling is fitted; heat dissipates through the plastic walls during normal starter operation. Noise is limited to the contactor itself, making the enclosure suitable for quiet control rooms. Power consumption depends entirely on the installed starter, so no separate supply rating applies. Installers who expect forced-air thermal management should plan for an alternative solution.
