Suitable for

• Industrial motor control systems
• Commercial ventilation and pump installations
• Professional electrical distribution boards
• Protection of single-phase motor circuits

This device may not be suitable for applications requiring three-phase motor protection, as it is specifically designed as a 2-pole unit. Furthermore, it is not intended for use in environments exceeding its specified current range or in high-voltage systems beyond its rated capacity.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 2
• Power rating: 18.5 kW
• Adjustable current range: 25-40A
• Application: Motor protection

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within an enclosure. Once mounted, the current setting should be adjusted to match the nominal current of the connected motor using the integrated adjustment dial. Ensure all terminal connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the current requirements of your motor to ensure they fall within the 25-40A range.
• Confirm that your system configuration requires a 2-pole protection device.
• Check the available space in your electrical cabinet for DIN rail mounting.

For optimal performance and safety, regularly inspect the terminal connections and test the tripping mechanism periodically as part of your routine maintenance schedule.
