Product details

Three poles, line protection version, no undervoltage release, no phase failure detection.

At 55 °C it drops to 60.6 A, at 60 °C to 58.3 A, at 65 °C to 55.9 A, and at 70 °C to 53.6 A. The 4 W maximum power loss is low enough that ventilation slots in the enclosure cover are usually sufficient; no forced air needed.

Width 105 mm, height 181 mm, depth 86 mm. Verify the busbar system pitch if retrofitting into an existing switchboard.

Trip unit and auxiliary contacts

ETU560 electronic trip unit with LSI protection curves — long-time, short-time, and instantaneous. The trip indicator gives a mechanical flag when the breaker has opened on fault, which helps during fault-finding on a dead panel. That's enough for a remote status signal and a separate alarm back to the PLC.
