FAQs
The device uses base mounting with 3P screw terminals and a 123 mm by 130 mm footprint, compatible with standard DIN-rail and panel layouts. Its 160 A rating and 10 to 70 mm² Cu conductor range support common control-panel wiring, while the front IP20 protection helps prevent incidental contact during maintenance.
Key ratings include 160 A rated current across 380–415 V, 500 V, and 690 V categories, Ui of 1000 V, Uimp of 12 kV, and Ie/Catalog ratings for AC-21A, AC-22A, and AC-23A. It aligns with IEC 60947-3, UL 98, CSA C22.2 NO.4, and carries CE declarations for global compliance.
Yes. The 3P configuration, 160 A rating, and voltage tolerance up to 1000 V make it suitable for motor control centers and branch circuits in industrial automation. With a 12 kV impulse withstand and 4 kA short-time withstand capability, it supports fault tolerance in demanding environments.
It features a lockable handle for lockout-tagout applications, protected clamp terminals, and IP20 front protection. Compliance is ensured through IEC 60947-3, UL/CSA certifications, and CE declarations, along with RoHS, REACH, and CMRT documentation for responsible material and supply-chain management.
Install with base mounting and screw terminals; tighten to 6 N·m per IEC 60947-1. Plan for a 20000-cycle mechanical life, allowing for substantial service intervals. Use Cu conductors 10 to 70 mm², and ensure proper enclosure ingress protection during maintenance to preserve IP20 integrity.
