Working Mechanism

  • The switch is installed in a circuit to control the flow of electrical current.
  • When the switch is in the on position, the contacts are closed, allowing current to flow through the switch and the circuit.
  • When the switch is in the off position, the contacts are open, interrupting the flow of current.
  • When the overcurrent protection device detects an overcurrent, it trips the switch and opens the contacts, interrupting the current flow.
  • The switch can be reset by manually moving the handle to the OFF position and then back to the ON position.
  • The switch also has a variety of accessories, such as auxiliary contacts and shunt trips, which can be used to enhance its functionality and control.

Features

  • These switches have a compact and space-saving design for use in tight spaces.
  • They can be flush / surface / DIN rail mounted for flexible installation.

Standards and Approvals

  • IEC
