• Protection of IE3 and IE4 efficiency class motors

This device may not be suitable for applications requiring current ratings significantly higher than 0.4A or for environments where specific environmental protection ratings beyond standard industrial specifications are mandated. It is also not intended for use in circuits where the fault current exceeds the rated breaking capacity of the device.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Rated current: 0.4A
• Connection type: Screw terminals
• Function: Overload and short-circuit protection
• Compatibility: Suitable for IE3 and IE4 motors

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within an enclosure. Ensure that the supply voltage matches the device specifications before connecting the input and output lines to the screw terminals. Tighten the screws to the manufacturer's recommended torque to ensure a secure connection and prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the full load current of your motor matches the 0.4A rating
• Ensure the enclosure provides adequate protection for the installation environment
• Check compatibility with existing DIN rail mounting systems
• Confirm the required breaking capacity for your specific circuit

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the terminal connections for tightness and ensure the device is kept free from excessive dust or moisture to maintain optimal performance and safety standards.
