• Manufacturing machinery

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in circuits exceeding its specified power rating of 7.5kW or outside the 10-16A current range. It is also not suitable for applications requiring specialized electronic motor management features beyond standard thermal and magnetic protection.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Power rating: 7.5kW
• Adjustable thermal release range: 10-16A
• Protection type: Short-circuit and overload
• Application: Motor protection

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. The device is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within an electrical enclosure. Once mounted, connect the power supply lines to the input terminals and the motor leads to the output terminals. After installation, the thermal release must be adjusted to the rated current of the motor using the dial on the front of the unit. The device can be manually switched on or off using the front-mounted toggle.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the motor's rated current falls within the 10-16A range.
• Ensure the power rating of the motor does not exceed 7.5kW.
• Check the available space in the electrical cabinet for DIN rail mounting.
• Confirm compatibility with the existing electrical distribution system.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of wear or heat damage and perform periodic testing of the trip mechanism to ensure continued operational safety.
