What Terminal types and conductor sizes are supported?
Power connections use screw clamp terminals that accept solid conductors up to 25mm² and flexible cables with ferrules up to 16mm² when tightened to 4N·m.
How does the handle support secure lock-out procedures?
The rotary handle accepts 1 to 3 padlocks with shackle diameters of 4 to 8mm, allowing compliant lock-out during maintenance.
What mechanical and electrical endurance can be expected?
The mechanism is rated for 30,000 mechanical cycles and 30,000 electrical cycles under AC-21 and DC-1 to 5 duty classes.
What environmental and safety conditions does it tolerate?
It operates between −20 to 50°C, withstands vibrations (10 to 150Hz, 1gn) and shocks (11ms, 30gn), and meets an 8kV impulse withstand rating.
Which short-circuit characteristics are relevant for protective device coordination?
It has a rated conditional short-circuit current of 10kA at 400V with associated 63A aM or gG fusing and a making capacity up to 630A at 400V.
Note
The figures quoted for rated operational power within the price table are with respect to a voltage of 230/240V, with figures within brackets ( ) being those with respect to a voltage of 690V.
The higher current rating refers to use in free air, the lower current rating represents use in an enclosure.
The higher current rating refers to use in free air, the lower current rating represents use in an enclosure.
