Product details

It combines magnetic and electronic trip technology for motor protection in a single enclosure, with a rotary handle for manual control and isolation. The magnetic trip range is adjustable from 300 to 700 A, covering inrush for motors up to the 50 A frame. Pollution degree 3 and suitability for isolation per IEC 60947-1 mean it can serve as a disconnecting means in the motor branch circuit.

Where you'll find it on the line

The 155 mm height, 81 mm width, and 165 mm depth fit standard cubicle layouts; connection pitch is 27 mm without spreaders or 35 mm with them. IP40 protection handles the dry, non-washdown environment of a typical enclosure. The grey RAL 7016 housing and ring-terminal lugs for cables up to 95 mm² are standard for this class. Rated for any operating position and altitudes up to 5000 m, so it's fine for elevated installations or odd panel orientations. Mechanical durability is 40,000 cycles; electrical durability is 20,000 cycles at AC-3 at 440 V at half rated current.

The compliance package includes IEC 60947-4-1 and IEC 60947-2, plus fire resistance to 960 °C per IEC 60695-2-11 and climatic withstand per IACS. That covers most industrial and marine applications without extra documentation chasing.
