FAQs
The breaker uses a front-terminal 4P configuration, which simplifies wiring and reduces panel depth. Ensure correct torque on terminations per the installation manual, and allow space for easy access during maintenance. Its 4P form factor is well-suited to MCCs, motor feeders, and distribution boards, streamlining cable routing and device coordination in automated environments.
It supports high short-circuit withstand capabilities with Icu up to 100 kA, depending on voltage, and Ics ratings around 100 kA for common low- and medium-voltage scenarios. The Ekip Touch trip unit provides precise, rapid coordination to isolate faults while preserving healthy circuits, reducing downtime and collateral damage during fault events.
Yes. The product complies with IEC60947-2 and bears RoHS declarations, ensuring regulatory alignment for European and global installations. It also carries REACH declarations and a WEEE category classification, supporting sustainable procurement practices and responsible end-of-life management.
Ideal for industrial control panels, motor control centers, and distribution boards where reliable overcurrent protection is essential. The 63 A rating, 690 V operating voltage, and front-terminal design make it suitable for dense panel layouts in manufacturing, process industries, and packaging lines, while Ekip Touch enables enhanced protection coordination.
Durability specs show electrical endurance of about 8,000 cycles and mechanical endurance around 25,000 cycles, with 1.7 W per pole in steady-state operation. Front-access terminals simplify inspections, and RoHS/REACH compliance supports ongoing sustainability reporting. Regular inspection of connections and trip unit status ensures continued reliability and reduced total cost of ownership.
