FAQs
When installing the 2460B-250, ensure a compatible three-wire, two-pole connection and a suitable 250 V AC supply. The IP66 seal protects against water ingress in wet environments, so seal integrity and enclosure gasket condition are critical. Use standard cutouts and mounting patterns to align with Pauluhn interlock receptacle configurations and maintain proper clearances for wiring access and heat dissipation.
The internal breaker provides immediate overcurrent protection at the receptacle, reducing the need for downstream protective devices and simplifying wiring. This can shorten installation time, reduce panel depth, and improve fault isolation, which translates to lower maintenance costs and faster troubleshooting in industrial and marine applications.
Yes. The unit is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it suitable for standard industrial facilities, dry and damp indoor spaces, and general-purpose environments where robust protection and reliability are required without special hazardous-area considerations.
Key protections include IP66 ingress protection for water and dust resistance and an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification. The three-wire, two-pole configuration supports safe and compliant connections for 15A, 250V AC circuits in typical industrial and marine settings.
The integrated breaker, durable brass body, and IP66 sealing reduce maintenance intervals and field wiring errors, leading to lower downtime and fewer component replacements. The compatibility with Pauluhn interlock systems also shortens installation time and improves uptime in demanding environments, delivering measurable total cost of ownership benefits over the life of the equipment.
